BAS Barley Straw Mulch Compressed Box

Looking for mulch but don't have a farm in your backyard? BuildASoil has access to an abundance of straw and are happy to ship you some for your small garden. Larger gardens will benefit from sourcing locally.

This barley straw is not certified organic but comes from a local farm. There isn't a need to spray for pests and most of the local farms use chicken manure as the cheapest means to fertilize etc. There will be some foreign dried plant material as there always is with any straw bales. Looking for something that has NO seeds? Check out our Blue Oyster Mushroom Straw Logs. They are made on an organic mushroom farm and pre-sterilized before they grow mushrooms on them.

The straw is compressed when baled and we do not fluff it up before packaging.
