What about rice straw in your area? Not sure it is as good as wheat?
btw... my Mean Old First Wife came home at 2:00 and ordered me out in the garden to finish the Dahlias. Tough to do in gale force winds but...

Oat straw would probably work, too.
You must have a beautiful yard! I love dahlias. Seems like they get spider mites here too much, and voles/ squirrels really like the bulbs.
Good luck with the wind! It blew a gale here last week. Must have been coming straight off an iceberg!

Rice is not grown here. It is basically grown south of I-10 in Louisiana and South Texas. So I doubt I could find rice straw.
