Thank you for your ideas

Last year I tried to find straw instead of Hay but it is difficult to find

I guess they only keep what horses eat

Alphalpha would be nice if i can get it

Unfortunately we dont have enough trees for leaves and the ones i collect
from the lawn also have random garbage.. small pieces of paper and plastic.
I started saving it but I have decided against it.

Grass Clippings we have but I dont think this is a good idea in a vegetable
garden.

For some reason grass breaks down and gets very hot as it mulches but also
the chemicals on the lawn are probably not so great to be eating even at low
levels.

I dont use pesticides in the garden

I am going to try straw if i can get some

I was also thinking of getting some window screen to provide some shad over
the plants maybe and it might also reduce bugs.
