Highfields Barley Straw - Paper Bag

Barley straw is the left over stalk after barley grain is harvested.

Straw is light, clean, easy to work with, and composts (or breaks down) fairly easily. Here are some other critical benefits of straw garden mulch:

• Retains moisture longer in the soil
• Keeps cool season crops from bolting too soon
• Provides warmth and moisture for early spring and late fall grass seed applications
• Prevents rapid temperature fluctuations
• Protects grass from scouring due to rain, overwatering, high winds, or consumption from birds
• When straw composts, it adds nutrients back into the soil
• Perfect for the garden all year round
• Also an excellent choice for animal bedding 

Our packaging is convenient, mess free and compostable!

Available in 6kg and 2kg paper bags.
