Sponsored Post Interested in learning about a new chopped straw bedding option?

[Lazy J Bedding]

We work with a certified crop advisor to be sure what we use is safe. I will be checking with him to find out what exactly is used.

The chopped straw sounds like a great idea. When/if it becomes available in FL, we'll give it a try.

The MSRP is $8.50 / bag

We checked with our certified crop advisor and this is what he said: "The chemicals that were used on the wheat that provided the straw for Lazy J Bedding were very selective broadleaf and grass herbicides. They also used a selective fungicide. Even though we have been very successful at using Lazy J Bedding in gardens, we cannot fully guarantee that these chemicals will not affect all plants that you may want to grow in your garden." I hope this is helpful. We have never been made aware of any issues from people who have used it on their gardens but with so many different varieties of plants that could be grown it is difficult to fully guarantee. When people call us asking about using it for their gardens we suggest that they fist try it on a portion of the garden if they are concerned.

What's the price difference between a bag of your product and a bale of straw from a local feed store?

In which ways is the chopped straw easier to work with?

Do you offer direct product shipping to the Eastcoast?

Sorry for so many questions, your website won't load on my mobile.

I think most of your questions have been answered if you read the whole thread...only you can answer what a bale of straw costs in your location.

I didn't see if shipping is available. And I didn't quite understand how the chopped is easier besides decomposition and soil amendment.... besides the straw that has sprouts in it. There's obvious benefits there... sorry I guess my dyslexia prevents me from completely comprehending everything...

@Lazy J Bedding Thank you for your reply, and I have to compliment you on checking that information out. Personally, I'm not within your potential customer base, as you're probably not thinking of expanding your sales chain to Finland, and I've found hemp to be the best bedding I can possibly imagine, but your product sounds very interesting, and would probably be a good alternative to the hemp, especially as it's pretty hard to come by in the States still. I mainly asked, because I found your first statement about the possible chemical remnants to be slightly misleading, but you rectified the issue in your reply. Good luck, I hope you gain a lot of new customers.

All straw will be treated. This is the only reason my farm cannot be certified organic. If you want un treated straw.. go straight to the farmer. You can get a 1200 lb round wheat straw bale from a farmer for 90$ and more than likely he would shred it for you for free in 5 minutes.
