Does anyone here use straw in their coop as bedding? I've been using wood chips, but I'm not happy with how long they take to break down in my compost bin.
(Yes, only a homesteader would use such a wierd reason!) Also, I think straw would be more environmentally-friendly because it's a renewable resource, as opposed to the hardwoods used in making chips.
Anyone do this, and if so, does it work out well for you? Or is straw a commonly-used bedding that I'm just not aware of?
