straw mulch is growing grass...

started mulching with fresh straw bales from a local farm/stables. It was great fun and light shone on the horizon. ;D
After all the rains it is now growing grass, which is a bit poo. Can't poison it as the rains keep coming.
Any ideas?

It's probably baby barley if it's barley straw. Tip from Ruth Stout: when you see a sprouty piece of straw mulch, lift it up and turn it over. Job done! :D Or if the mulch is thin, mulch on top and smother it :)
