Straw Vs Hay For Garden Mulch & Compost. What Is the Difference? Why Is One Potentially Harmful!
Have you ever wondered what the difference between straw and hay mulch is? The differences are drastically different from price to product performance. For most gardeners we want to aim for a straw mulch. This will not have persistent pesticides and can be used as a carbon source the following year for our compost.
Mulch in the form of hay however can be detrimental. This is especially true if pesticides are used.  hey also cannot be used as a brown material in our compost. This is technically a nitrogen source.

Ashley is a soil scientist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up and coming gardeners.
