Shredded Straw 5kg | Nutrient-Rich Mulch | Ideal for Mushrooms and Gardens

Shredded straw is a versatile, nutrient-rich substrate blend made from a mixture of various straw types. It’s ideal for mushroom growers seeking a high-yield base—delivering a biological efficiency of over 100% when properly inoculated. The coarse, fibrous structure makes it perfect for breaking down easily while retaining moisture, promoting vigorous mycelial growth.

Gardeners will also appreciate this straw as a mulch alternative. It naturally suppresses weeds, retains soil moisture, and gradually enriches soil as it breaks down—perfect for raised beds, vegetable gardens, and pathways.

This straw is non-sterile, making it best suited for use with pasteurisation or sterilisation methods if you’re growing mushrooms. Supplied in a generous 5kg quantity, it’s ready to be hydrated and mixed with your preferred spawn.
