I have used straw. I am not sure whether it came from oats or wheat or what, but I would think the effect would be the same. It works to keep the soil moist and to build up fertility. It decays quickly. We use newspaper underneath woodchips in our Santa Fe Iris Society public iris Garden to keep weeds down. Incidently, they feed the soil and keep it healthier and they last longer than does oat straw. Both methods need to be replaced from time to time.
