German term or phrase: Graswalme

Bei hoch stehendem Futter können all zu grosse Graswalme vermieden werden, indem nicht die ganze Balkenbreite gemäht wird.

Is there a mistake here - should it be grashalme?

Explanation:
Are you translating gardening products or something more related to architecture? 'Walm' is a type of roof construction, which goes together with Balkenbreite (width of the beam). Sounds like you're dealing with an earth-covered structure or something. Do tell.
