Baled wheat straw is a convenient, easily handled package of completely biodegradable material. Wheat straw is residue left when mechanical harvesters separate the grain (wheat) from the rest of the plant or stalk. This residue or straw is then baled for use by gardeners, landscapers or animal owners. Wheat straw can be utilized as an absorbent bedding for animals, make for great decorations in the fall season and be of great benefit to a newly planted lawn. By providing shade and moisture retention to new seed wheat straw can help insure a healthy and even stand of grass. Using wheat straw in gardening again helps with moisture retention and reduces weeds around your vegetables when it is placed on the soil. As the wheat straw biodegrades it provides more fertility to the soil it covers and in turn makes the earth you are working more organic.
