Nope, not reeds. A non-smart straw golem harvests the bottom block, it takes a smart one to only harvest the second block.
I love using golems in enclosed systems. Setup a room for processing or a mob farm, wall it up and forget it exists.
Golems can stick items into nearly anything. Including tesseracts.

I think this happens when they and their home chunk load and then they wander into an unloaded chunk. Golems that mostly just stand in one spot never seem to be effected by the vanishing bug.
OSHA would recommend a chunkloader and guard rails.
I would add you also want these guys far away from your replanting corps. I did a post about there sight mechanics awhile back but basicly the edge of your non-replanting crops needs to be (if I recall) 10 blocks away form your replanting ones. Otherwise the golem can chain over. The straws to a work check after they harvest something and while it is not prefect it can make them target crops from that point. So if your usign Int and non Int cores keep them far apart
I might as well add this. It's the farm plan I have for my golems.
The black square in the center is a chest set into the ground. I'm fixin to change that to an ender chest so I don't have to hassle with these guys. Two wood golems do the rounds. Since the straw golem has to be intelligent, the radius has to be no bigger than this. For that reason I went with speedy wood golems instead of perceptive ones, and I found some objects at the edge were never picked up, so I reduced it by a block all around. I might have been okay either changing them to perceptive wood golems, or building a wall all around to keep everything inside, but production was already enough that I didn't need that extra band. I'll have to try to research spectacles, then everything will be cool. The two blocks in the middle are jack-o-lanterns and the dark orange blocks are water with a j-o-l above them. Problem with that was the golem would jump on the block then trample the farm on the other side so I added a slab on top, but that did block the golems, so I raised the j-o-l up 2 blocks and covered the water with lillies. It's not enough room for me to pass under the j-o-l but the golems are fine. I made the dirt striped in this image because it's pretty.
I gotta warn against giving these guys a way out of their farm. I used to have a gate and occasionally the straw golem would get out and harvest a swath of my nearby cactus and cane. Took me forever to figure out why these plants over 20 blocks from the edge of the farm would suddenly be shortened. I blamed it on flux for a while, hehe. Also the wood golems will show up in the cave below trying to pick up items, even if they have to go 100 blocks away to get to an access point to the place they detected a loose item. So, block them in.
I tried using some Xychorium Soil and I love that stuff. It would be easy enough to make an entire farm out of it, but I prefer to use them 8-deep around the water pools with cane planted there. I only have 8 cane planted and I get as much of that stuff as I do of wheat; it's impressive.
Edit: I just remembered I moved some of the water plots out a little to ensure coverage, after I made this plan. So the 2 that are horizontal with the chest are fine, but the rest need to be moved out from the center by 1 block. That gets most of it.

also it dawned on me you could combine MFR planters with NonInt Straw golems. Save on the crystals for just a little power cost.[DOUBLEPOST=1367969010][/DOUBLEPOST]
Or you can build your farm up a bit. I put my farm normaly a few blocks up from the ground golems can not use ladders and they will not jump down from any high more then a block or two.

Not to my knoweldge. I've done a few posts here and there on the matter as I enjoy golems and use them a lot of the times.
I might put some stuff togther for a guide since it does come up often. Like the diffrence with cores and how the golem cloths effects things. And just how their sight and decetion works.
Well you know, other than building a little hidden box and making sure your server friends never get anything planted. Or if someone has a golem farm, just mix one into the crowd.
Does this count as an in-depth guide?

Between this and the thaumanomicon, I'm sure you can figure out most uses for the golems.

You could probably also use it with some deplyers bonemeal e.t.c. to get the golem walking to a certain point to triger some kind of presure plate. I bet you could simulate a full shop with emplyees, set up some traps that are RP free, and do all sorts if you abuse their pathing enough.
