What kind of straw?
    #5889804 - 07/23/06 07:02 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I wanted to experiment with my first bulk system for fun. You know, the tub of grain covered with pasturized straw. Anyway, it just so happens that a pet store down the street has different kinds of straw for sale. Is there any paritcular type I should get or any to avoid?? I mean should it be yellow, green or a specific type of straw?? Any help would be appriciated. thankyou

Wheat straw is the best. Timothy hay sucks.

Agreed, hay is full of seeds(grain) which contaminate easily. I get wheat straw whenever I can, but often in certain times of the year or areas, barley straw is all I can find. It still works great as well. Green is usually grass, which packs down too much. Straw should be hollow inside which is what makes it work so well. The hollow interior stores water for the flush, while allowing the mycelium to colonize the outside easily.

Even in large cities, there should be a feed store nearby. You can get large bales for the same price as craft or pet stores sell small bales for. Feed stores also are excellent for finding lime, oyster shells, and gypsum at reasonable prices.
