Straw is used in brick-making, particularly in adobe bricks, to improve the structural integrity and durability of the final product. It acts as a binding agent that helps hold the clay or mud together, reducing cracking as the bricks dry. Additionally, straw enhances insulation properties and contributes to a lighter weight, making the bricks easier to handle and transport. Overall, incorporating straw can lead to stronger, more resilient building materials.

How do you use hay bales to make a street?

Sometimes in the past (and still in some places in the world) bricks were made of straw, mud, and clay. The straw added extra strength or fiber to the brick and gave the mud and clay a better texture to shape a brick out of. You could subsitute straw with hay and make bricks out of that, thus giving you the needed material to lay a old fashioned cobbled or brick street.
