HAY! (straw is cheaper, grass is free - marry a farmer and you get all three!)

ok, this is SO cool! i now know the difference between hay, straw, and grass!!!


  • hay

    what it is: hay is a combination of alfalfa and grass that is raked into rows on a field and left to dry in the summer sun. once mostly dried, hay is baled.

    how it is used: hay is used as feed for animals - it's healthy and hearty!

    rough market price: $2.00 a bale


  • straw

    what is is: straw is the remains of combined (harvested) oats, wheat, barley, etc. it is mostly stalks and such.

    how it is used: straw is not healthy. it is used primarily as bedding for animals and christmas pagents.

    rough market price: $.50 a bale


  • grass

    what it is: grass grows naturally in fields and some yards. in suburbia it is planted in yards, baseball diamonds, and in over-priced pots at floral shops.

    how it is used: grass can be eaten, layed in, rolled on, played on, watered, sexed on, eaten on, cut, and harvested for multch (if you love and care for the earth that you're so fortunate to be living on).

    rough market price: free
