Straw or Hay?
    #19085181 - 11/04/13 12:24 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I've been told that if there are seeds germinating in my straw, then it isn't really straw, it's hay. I bought what I was told was straw.....I'm just growing oysters.....chopped it up, submerged it for 3 weeks to cold pasteurize/ferment.....still have grass/wheat/whatever sprouting everywhere. Couldn't believe seeds could live underwater that long, now someone at FungiPerfecti tells me I must have hay by mistake.

If anybody has any insight and wants to share, thanks in advance........

Straw bales will still have some seeds in there.
Hay is grass, clover, alfalfa, stuff like that, the bails are pretty green.
Straw is the hollow stalks of the wheat plant (or whatever grain it's from) after they harvest the grain.

If you have straw WITHOUT some seed I would be very surprised. It is basically impossible to remove all the kernals of wheat from the stalk. In the long run though it really shouldn't matter.

I too was suprised by seed surviving lime bath.  they don't really survive heat IME.  No harm though really, think of it as extra nutrients.

and yeah, the difference between hay and straw is pretty noticeable, as hay is usually partially green.
