Some hay questions
snip
I found some free hay bales today that were to be throw out so I grabbed them to use as mulch when the growing season comes around. The bales are standard pasture hay, grasses and whatever else was growing at the time of cutting. I have no idea how old they are, no one could tell me. A couple I wouldn't use hay as a mulch - it is, by definition, full of grass seeds, as it is used as an animal feed. I would use straw which should (largely) be seed free - it has no nutrition value for animals but rots down to a fine mulch / soil conditioner. Chris S I was just about to say the same as Chris, dont use it as a mulch on the garden just put it a corner and let it rot. In the winter we use poor hay in muddy gateways and the grass seeds germinate in the Spring. kate |
