Default Straw as mulch

Hi

I have seen bales of straw advertised and I was wondering if this
would be fine to use as a mulch, as it is cheaper than lucerne mulch?
Thanks
Sandra

This shows the result of adding large amounts of organic matter to improve
impoverished soil. It doesn't address the questions asked: whether straw is
good mulch or how it compares to hay.
