I actually thought about straw logs... but im not gonna shred pounds of straw with scissors! anybody have a good straw shredding method? it needs to be an indoors method, as it is winter here. help would be appreciated, and pm me if youd like. btw, damn good job! i just hope you get better pinsets in your following flushes.

I work on a ranch, so I have access to tons of straw...along with poo. I wouldn't mind trying out a straw log when I have time.
What kind of Hay would work?

if thats the green shit you feed rabits then it most likly wont work. I have read posts a few years ago that poeple asked about and every one said no you can't.
imo straw bricks get better pin sets. nice grow d00d.

I used scissors, it was way slow.
I bought a used paper shredder, it was slower than scissors.
I tried using a pair of branch cutters (the long handled, short bladed garden tool). This was a lot faster than scissors, but I could only do it for 10 minutes at a time, and it only works well if you're cutting from an intact bale.
I bought a cheap paper cutter. Now we're talking. I sawed the guard off and it works like a charm. You can only cut so much at a time, but it's the best method I've found so far. I can get 4 quarts in 5 minutes or so. A heavy duty paper cutter would be even better.

Well if you want straw pet stores some times sell it for beding. You can also get small bales at jo ann fabric or any craft store.
here you can get mini bales for 3$ http://www.wyominghay.com/miniaturehaybales.html

why don't you use power trimmers for hedges? big or small they will probably go right through some straw.

wow, so many replies 
I use hobby straw that I bought at Micheals (and can be found at any hobby store) for $4 a bale. One bale makes about three 16" logs! Worth it if you ask me cause I dont want to have to bother with cutting up a bunch of straw. Don't have the space, Don't have the time!
As for a good Tek... I used these resources:

A bale of hay costs 5 bucks. Take what you can use and roll the rest down a hill. Or, elevate it and keep the rain off, and it would last a while outside too. I've cut several grows worth off a bale, and the bale is still intact.
