g'day ross,

we ahve found that not to be so, whatever grain is still in the straw
si not a self perpetuating weed anyway and the bit that does germinate
in say 8"s of straw is no hassle to be pulled and tucked under for
extra nutrient as you walk you garden daily or other wise.

and even using pasture grass hay like we often do you get very little
grass seed germinating with that depth of cover. all of which is so
easy to pull as it is only rooted on the mulch or the newly formed
humus.
