My sense has been that it will bog down too much during a wet winter.

Does anyone use hay, and if so how thick do you put it on?

The story's a bit daft, because of the drought we have the right in
France to give away our hay (normally illegal unless you pay the fee to
be a farmer, and taxes too!) this year, so I'll end up with a few tonnes
if I want them.

Lots of grass seed in hay. Considered a good thing by farmers as it
ups the energy value. Lots may grow in your garden.
