Meanwhile, the regular old straw I use, wheatstraw, does have seeds and so it does sprout, however, it's very easy to pull those out and lay them down creating more organic mulch.... and mostly it gets shaded out or covered over anyway by growing plants as the season goes on. I don't mind a little wheat sprouting.

Go to the agricultural versions of Ebay, looking for hay and straw.
Clean straw will be listed as such.
Hay bales will be listed as content type.

There is a world of difference.
