Barley Straw bags

Last year I bought bales of barley straw from my Ace Hardware. They had
a kit which made 3 bails when decompressed. They had 3 plastic strand
bags to put the straw in. Last year my snails seemed to attack the
plastic strands in the bags and destroyed the top of the bag. This year
I used a heavy bag from a leaf shredder, but I would like to use a
lighter bag if anyone knows of a good source.
