Also expensive for a mulch and a bit untidy. **Q: Can i use this for outdoor cat house?** A: I found this straw fairly free from barley ables,but the the straw does contain a fair amount of seed, or at least mine did, i used it for my straw berries and it looked as if i had sown for a crop. The straw is soft, but if any ables do remain i would think that perhaps they woul get into the cat hair. I'm not sure on that one as ihave never tried it for pet use. The packets contain a very large amount of compressed straw and is good value for my uses, hope this helps, if only a little. **Q: Can you use this barley straw in a garden pond to get rid of hairy green algae please thanks** A: I used it for chickens, but dont see any harm if you put it in tights or netting, hope this helps :) **Q: Is this ok to use for outdoor feral cat bedding,?** A: Yes i would think so. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/50604656-dust-extracted-barley-straw-bulk-bale-approx-5-kg](https://www.desertcart.be/products/50604656-dust-extracted-barley-straw-bulk-bale-approx-5-kg) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
