I wouldn't use hay - you don't know
what weeds you might get.

I agree. We bought in hay for the cattle one year and then got bloody
Patersons Curse all over the farm. It's taken about 10 years to get
rid of it. And stupidly, I used some of this same sodding hay in my
garden - grrrrrrr! Never again. It's now fusspot time for all my
mulch materials.
