I used straw this year that I purchased from a local supply store and unfortunately it contained a good deal of seed heads. I now have wheat sprouting all over my garden. The only solution I can think of is to rake off all the straw, avoiding the vegetable plants, pull all the wheat sprouts and mulch with something else. Ugh.
