Straw Bale

Straw Bales are a practical and versatile bedding, mulching and garden
product suitable for use around farms, stables, chicken coops, animal shelters and home
gardens. Straw is commonly used as clean, dry bedding for animals and as a useful ground
cover to help reduce mud, moisture and mess.

Straw bales are ideal for use in poultry nesting boxes, lambing pens, calf shelters, dog
kennels, horse yards and general livestock areas. They can help provide warmth, comfort and
insulation for animals while also making pens and shelters easier to clean and maintain.

In the garden, straw is often used as a natural mulch around vegetables, fruit trees and
garden beds. It helps protect soil from drying out, reduces splash-back from rain or watering,
and can assist with weed suppression when applied at a suitable depth.

Straw bales are also useful for erosion control, temporary barriers, composting, garden
projects, displays and general farm use.
