What kind of straw is appropriate?
Straw that is used for building can be harvested from various crops such as: wheat, oats, barley, rice, rye, hemp or flax. The kind of bale you choose is less important than the quality of the bale. You must use dry, tight bales. We recommend that you use bales from a local farmer whenever possible, to avoid large transportation costs (both environmental and monetary!).
