Title: Wanted - bales of straw, Carmarthenshire
Post by: Bionic on April 17, 2012, 12:19:22 pm

I want to make a straw house for my weaners but am struggling to get the straw.

Does anyone know of an outlet in or around Carmarthenshire?

thanks
Sally

Small bales of straw are always going to be hard to find in the area because not much cereals are grown in the area and most of the straw is imported from England in large bales. I did find this old advert in Ammanford

might be worth phoning them.

There is someone advertising bales in the most recent Cambrian Trader. I think that they will deliver to your area. I'll p.m. you the phone number
