Hi, I am looking for straw for two 4x5’ strawberry beds. Where is the best place to get this? Thanks!

You could try Shar-Kare in Courtenay, on Hwy. 19A across from Pilon Tools.

They’re good but I once had a bale of hay sprout on me. That was a major clean up. I’d put down newspaper before the straw, just to be safe.

I got a bale from Shar Kare a few years ago and it sprouted on me too. Use “simply straw” brand (used it last year and had no problems). I think I saw it at Garden Works and Canadian Tire.

I’ve used Shar-Kare many times. Some times the straw is great and other times, it has sprouted. They also sell compressed straw there which comes wrapped in plastic. The pieces are much smaller and it has never sprouted on me.

I bought a bale of compressed straw (from Black Creek Farm and Feed?) I believe it was marketed as small animal bedding. Worked a treat - no seeds - although a tad expensive.
