Can I use just any straw?

Hey all, I am a cheap bastard and I like to keep things as simple as possible. However I cant help but notice that my apartment complex has patches of straw around the area to help grass grow (I guess). So I was wondering, could I just get some of this straw, pastuerize it, and mix it in with coir? I figure if its there then what the hell, right?

Yes i would think that it would be suitable for use. (about 99% sure you could use it as i dont see any reason you couldnt as it is just straw)

If you already have coir, why not go to your local starbucks and get free coffee grinds? Then make an 80/20 coir/coffee mix, I hear it works wonders and you'll know for a fact it will work, versus sketchy straw you found outside?

Most straw is fine. Make sure it hasn't started to mold. You can get a fifty pound bale for five dollars in most areas. RR
