Same here.We have your growing medium then some nice wheat straw(4-6 inch will decompose to 1 inch maybe).The bedding straw in most cases when thrashed of seed is usually clean as a whistle of your "cides"and gmos if needed or concerned.My local feed store carries nice Kentucky straw that destined for stables of those high rolling thoroughbreds.The straw holds water in the reeds,cools down the surface and for us here perfect "straw berry" thatches for our fist sized berrys gotten at local farmstands.All the ferts involved in the straw growing cycle will eventually find its way into your garden.
