Where do you get that from?
I usually chop mine up by hand. I grab big handfuls and fold them up and clip them I up w garden shears But it doesn't take too long to fill a couple 5 gal buckets, and thats all I use for 4 or 5 tubs mixed into coir.
Bigger amounts I use a weedwhacker and trash can hahaha
I would love pre shredded!!

I found it at a truck wash that cleans livestock trailers. It's a local product but if you live close to an agricultural area you should be able to get something similar.

I have a similar deal going on for wheat straw. One of the feed stores I frequent for grain and bran is on the way to the horse pasture and has a few trailers that they store the wheat straw in. They let me come through and sweep the straw that is on the floor, gather it into trash bags and take it home for free. Cool thing about the straw from the floor of the trailer is that the straw is already chopped down a bit.

That's cool. The thing I like about my straw is its so clean and dust free. At some point I'll likely just buy a shredder though. I build barns for a living and spend all my time on farms. I could get my straw for free if I just used bails.

Straight straw has worked well for my outdoor beds. I have a nice flush of about 15-20 coming in right now and some of them look to be monsters. Should be harvesting today or tomorrow, i'll take some pics. Most of the ones i've gotten from another bed of mine are 2-3g dry and i got one 9 gram that came up on it's own out of the side of the bed.
If you decide to go straw with a casing i would say look into the risks of coir as a casing, i hear it is more nutritional than verm and peat so it can become contaminated more easily. Works well as a sub though. I case my beds with 50/50+. And as for gypsum, i soak the rye in gypsum at the start. I would suggest a casing from the start if you're using straw, i've heard it contaminates rather easily. Mixing the coir in with the straw probably wouldn't hurt if you already have it, maybe look around and see what results others have gotten with that mix. Good luck

Coir is about the moste contam resistant substrate or casing you can use. When I case with it. I don't even heat treat it. Peat will grow mold much more easilly and needs to be PH buffered and pasteurized. The only problem with using coir as a casing is it can become fully colonised if applied too soon.

Not sure on the exact amount, I'd say somewhere around 6-10 qts of rye probably closer to 10. These beds were from contaminated jars. I have a hepa on the way and should have a flow good built in a week or so
