You can def use EZ straw, as a simple search would have shown you. But that one includes tack as a bonding agent. No idea how that could affect the grow. Why bother? Is a regular straw bale that hard to come by around you? Even Lowes should have just regular EZ straw bales. If youre rural dont get EZ straw its a complete ripoff. Find a local garden center or go to the next farmers market and ask around for straw bales. They are dirt cheap.

A very expensive, small decorative bale of straw.  You don't have a local feed store?

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.

Can't see the second link, but if it's for decoration it might be treated with a fire retardant. Might still not be a problem, but I wouldn't use it just to be safe.

I don't know of any local feed store. I ended up getting some at Hobby Lobby. At least it was cheaper. (12" X 12" X 24" ended up being $14)

I cant imagine you having a hobby lobby, lowes and party city near you but not a feed store. Do a search for a tractor supply near you. Still expensive for straw though.. Do you have a farmers market near you? Seriously just ask a few ppl and youll find someone willing to seel you straw bales for a fraction of the cost of EZ straw.
