Oh man, I have serious straw envy!
The cheapest straw around here costs $10/bale, so we have to use it sparingly.
I was bemoaning this to a mate last week (a dairy farmer), and he said his hayshed floor is covered in loose straw that he needs to clear out. He said I could take as much as I wanted for nothing! He's also got great piles of cow manure I can have as well, and mentioned that he has some 4-year-old silage rolls he doesn't want. They're already well on their way to compost.
I'm just waiting on a new trailer to carry all this stuff, and then I'll be one happy gardener! I'm sure Anna knows the feeling :-).
