Wet straw tends to rot down before the end of the growing season, taking nutrients from the soil. If rotting occurs when the plants are young, it can result in sever nitrogen immobilisation, causing reduced growth. Geoff Whitley in the School of Biology, Leeds has developed a new technique to address this problem using naturally occurring soil minerals to stabilise and condition the milled straw.

Each bag will cover up to 3 sq.m. applied in a 4-5cm thick layer.
