We ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Free shipping generally does not apply to large or bulky items shipped to these locations.

Organic Straw Mulch

Straw for Mulch For Sale at BuildASoil

Looking for mulch but don't have a farm in your backyard?

We now have the Organic Certification for this straw!!

We have access to an abundance of straw and are happy to ship you some for your small garden. Larger gardens will benefit from sourcing locally.

This barley straw is CERTIFIED ORGANIC and comes from a local farm. 

We get MONSTER bales by the full truckload and then store it on pallets under hay tarps to ensure the cleanest organic straw for your garden. 

Looking for something that has NO seeds? Check out our Blue Oyster Mushroom Straw Logs. They are made on an organic mushroom farm and pre-sterilized before they grow mushrooms on them. 

Useful Info

1 Cubic Foot of straw doesn't weigh much but will easily mulch 6-12 plants depending on the depth of mulch and the size of the container. The straw is compressed when baled and we do not fluff it up before packaging. So 1 bag will hold more than you think.

Approximate measurements:
1/2 Cubic Foot Bag - Good for 5-10 Plants

 
1 Cubic Foot Bag - Good for 6-12 Plants

 
2 Cubic Foot Box - This is a 30x15x15 box is uncompressed barley straw from our compressed bales.

The weight of the boxes may vary, but we will always get them as full as possible!

Free Bonus - This straw will have seeds in it still and you will have volunteer "Living Mulch" in your containers. This grass will move moisture around in your soil container and provide additional root exudates to feed the microlife.

If you have been waiting to mulch until you get a round to it.... Well that day is today.

Add a box of Organic Straw to your shopping cart and take your garden to the next level.

How To Use

Top dress your containers for a sweet straw mulch layer.

I often put my straw into a tub or bucket and moisten it so that it's less dusty and clean and easy to apply as mulch. You could even presoak your straw in Yah-Whey or something microbial to help kick start the break down.

Exactly as advertised

Good price and they loaded it up. I did end up using post oak wood chips sold as meat smoking fuel as my mulch.

No more dry topsoil

Was having an issue with dry topsoil. Found myself misting multiple times a day. This straw mulch has made all the difference. Topsoil is healthy and stays that way.

Snail mail Slow

Order process and delivery were WAY TOO LONG for my taste or to even e helpful. Difficult to understand how you guys are so close but seemed to drag your feet with shipping. The whole situation has deterred me from using buildasoil or having any interest in your company. Thanks but NO THANKS
