I have got plenty of straw carefully selected from the barn and placed in my socks by the straw fairy. With that magic must be worth oooh, £22.95.
Is this food grade straw suitable for the authentic oooo arrrrr  crofter  effect ?

I have a terrible confession to make  :-[ :-[ :-[   I have bought sticks.  They have even had to be imported from China and come in bundles of 50.  I'm so ashamed and feel like crawling off into the undergrowth.  Please don't be too hard on me  :poo:

I have copious amounts of air ( fresh ) available, discount for quantity , bring your own bag to avoid the 5p bag tax.

I only buy the organic versions in jars

Oh envy......we have a coppice planted up, but the hazels aren't big enough to cut yet.  There's willow but they don't seem to grow long and straight enough for bean poles.  I hate buying in bamboo, and you never know what beasties you're getting with them.  Maybe next year I'll have bean poles of my own.
ps bamboo goes up like firecrackers if you chuck them on the bonfire  :yippee:

We used to have a bamboo patch too, but we had terrible trouble with pandas  :coat:.
