Straw
 |
Straw is the byproduct of the harvesting of cereal plants such as barley, oats, rice, rye and wheat. Roughly half of the yield of a crop will be straw. It may be a byproduct but straw has many uses including bedding for livestock and thatch for roofing. Because it is pliable and durable it also has many decorative uses. In addition, because when it is woven it is very stable and sturdy it is excellent for making baskets and bags etc. Being a totally natural plant fibre it is also totally biodegradeable.
