Straw Bale

If you are looking for an inexpensive way to protect grass seed or a way to raise your garden beds, baled straw is the way to go. Unlike hay, straw contains relatively few seeds, which means that no other little plants will crop up in your yard or garden. Straw is also less expensive and easy to dispose of, especially when using a lawnmower. Straw bales are a great way to raise garden beds and protect plants from soil-borne illnesses.
