Pedantic, being an adjective is defined as being overly concerned with
minute details especially in teaching.

while shallow on the other hand means superficial or lacking depth

Hi

I have seen bales of straw advertised and I was wondering if this
would be fine to use as a mulch, as it is cheaper than lucerne mulch?
Thanks
Sandra

This shows the result of adding large amounts of organic matter to
improve impoverished soil. It doesn't address the questions asked:
whether straw is good mulch or how it compares to hay.

It shows results fro both and a favourable outcome. Don't be so pedantic.
