100 Percent Natural Wheat Straw (8 lbs.)

Arrives compact. Went farther than I expected. Dried well after some rain blew in feral cat cottage. Keeps everyone dry and warm. We even see an improvement in shininess and cleanliness of fur. Cats choosing shelters with straw over one with fleece blanket. a little pricey this year, but worth it and I was thankful to get it because I couldn't get it in person this year.

This straw is great . Super clean and awesome for feral cat houses .

I really like this straw hay. Didn't know there were different kinds for different purposes. I use mine to fill in the holes my dogs dig to lay in. So instead of dirt, they are laying on straw. Perfect! Just wish price was lower.

I kept filling my rabbit's bed with this straw. The bed ket getting empty, but there was no straw to be seen. I like this very much as not only does it provide a nutritional supplement for my rabbit, it does not cause any clutter or pollution. Furthermore, when I scoop the rabbit poop for compositing, some of the straw gets mixed in with the poo, which makes for richer compost. I will not buy anything else from now on. Healthy for my rabbits and environmentally friendly.

I bought 8lbs of straw. But I could not shake a bad feeling after spreading it on my tomato plants and some other veggies. Thunder Acres states on their website that they do not use pesticides...but what was bothering me was that they neglected to state whether or not they used any HERBICIDES at any point on their crops. So I called Thunder Acres to ask if the 8lbs of straw that I just used as a top dressing mulch on tomatoes had any herbicide at ANY POINT prior to planting the wheat season. They said that they DO actually use weed herbicide on the crops (such as cotton) in the prior year before planting the wheat the following year. Grateful for their honesty...but still Horrified. This means that their soil has a high probability of herbicide residue in it, and by extension, so will the next crop of wheat/straw. The average person cannot sucessfully grow many things if they do not first check the source of where EVERYTHING comes from and EXACTLY what was being used EVEN PRIOR to a new crop planting. Do not let the use of words like "natural" or "non gmo" or "pesticide free" and the like fool you into thinking that what you are buying is safe for gardening use. This straw should not be used in conjunction for growing foods that are sensitive to weed killer. If you use it for that purpose, you will be doing so at your own risk. In all fairness, my rating is based on my particular intended use for the straw as a cover mulch. I am sure it makes a nice animal bedding or whatever else people use it for. It does have a lot of wheat seeds in it...but that is normal.

This was used to keep the Ferrell cats I have in my yard safe and warm inside the cat houses. Anything else used would freeze and made very uncomfortable for the animals

I love this straw because of the way it is cut. Typically when you get straw, it comes in long pieces. This straw is cut fine making it very easy to use and it is very soft. I use this for feral winter cat houses for a local rescue org I support. I'm in the Northeast so we get pretty severe winters that are very cold. The only thing I feel is it is a bit pricey.

Careful! Do not use this straw on your raised beds. It is not seed free. I used this straw as a mulch to protect my peas from the cold. The peas survived, but now the raised beds have dozens of straw seeds sprouting. I have to remove them every day.
