How It Works
FarmStraw is able to achieve success due to its innovative processing and construction.
- Processing and Preparation: FarmStraw is raw wheat straw that is cleaned without chemicals. This action takes out dust, dirt, molds etc., leaving safe and pleasant final goods.
- Cutting and Splitting: The straw is first cut into 2–3″ length pieces and then split into two to provide a larger surface area. This doesn’t just promote absorption, it also leaves bedding springy and lofty.
- Compression and Expansion: To simplify transportation and storage the bedding is made into 3 cu ft bales. It uses space well; when the user unpacks it, it blows out 10-12 cubic feet.
- Moisture Management: The split design of the straw pushes the liquid into the bottom and keeps the surface dry and comfortable.
- Composting Cycle: After being used, FarmStraw breaks down quickly in compost piles much faster than wood shavings. This produces nutrient-rich compost that can be returned to gardens or pastures.
