I use readily available chips. Grass clippings are useless, and straw has issues which ar similar in that it can become impervious to water. Both grass and straw are fine worked into the soil, but as mulch not much use.

Nine cubic yard of wood chip mulch was delivered to my driveway. Cost was $10.00 per yard plus $30.00 delivery charge. This will be sufficient to layer most of my growing area garden about three inches deep. The main purpose is to retain moisture. About seven wheelbarrows is a cubic yard.
