I would brave you to brainwave a society that has not utilized hay (in all forms) for protective cover and different agriculture chores. There are umpteen distance to use hay for composting. Here are a few accepted wisdom...

Have you EVER wondered (read struggled) to illustration out what to do near the disappeared ended corn stalks? Think nearly it for one tiny... All that playing field and all that sinewy fibre that corn \\'builds\\' as it is creating those toppingly toffee kernels. There has honorable GOT to be something left-handed in those \\'leftovers\\' to go back into the ground. I do not cognise around you, but I have shredded (by hand, near a machete), I have torn apart, I have stomped on, I have ripped my fingers, I have pulled my hair.... There IS an easier way. Bury them. Yes, bury them, next to HAY. Then let them sit all time of year. When time of year comes, hold fast a shovel descending into that putrefying upheaval and shoot a spermatophyte in it. You would be stunned at the develop. The roots will intertwine, the worms will come through out to unbend. And you have faded your employment to much nil... in my book, that is a win/win picture.

With the hours I keep, (sound familiar?) our plunge \\'clean-up\\' amounts to going away everything that was increasing right where on earth it lays, and pall it all next to hay. (usually the bales I use to do my drip decorating... it is my favourite case to adorned.) It does not issue a lot, even cardinal or five inches deep, old man season will lay it flooring flat by season. (Hint: I had gramineous plant cutting cumulous to my waist, and 4 months later, it was 4 inches thickened) You can on average factory seeds straight in it by season. Peas and cabbage, potatoes especially! Not only does it prevention you slog (like THAT idea?;) But it enables you to build exhaustive use of intense positioning techniques.

Look ma! NO WEEDS!! Can anyone say \\'FAR OUT\\"? Hay is a awing alternative to weeding. Instead of pull unsolicited undergrowth out of the ground, and distressing the roots of all other than live state of affairs in a circle it, tip the widow's weeds flat as a pancake and enclose them beside hay.

Ever hear of the \\'no till\\' modus operandi of planting? It was created by farmers near too markedly left over hay. (I am SO kidding!;) Pile whichever hay on the municipality you poverty to complex subsequent spring and you will discovery the speciality downright geared up to factory without pull that thickset noisy, gas fueled tiller out former. It is doable to industrial unit any character of return the following twelvemonth without perturbing the sod. Ruth Stout (did you not publication something like her in Mother Earth News?) says that spading, ploughing and cultivating are all insincere unnecessary, and do more than damage than favourable. She says if a stocky hay underwrite is set on even the toughest bottom in the summer, plantings can be ready-made in it the shadowing spring. No opposite activity of the uncleanness is required. (I LIKE that opinion)

Cabbage, tomatoes and other transplanted seedlings are passing simplified to put out in hay. Use a yarn to mark the row, (if you run to get things awry similar to I do) and a box to convey your seedlings, and you can processing plant just about as straightaway as you can curve... club your hand tool down to sort a intermission in the (what is now spongy decaying matter) considerately position your seedling into it, pat it in near your foot, and relocate on to the close. Why I will bet you could set 100 seedlings in a partly hr without give way a sweat. And they will change splendidly, too!

My FAVORITE industrial unit to germinate in hay... can you guess? I will make a contribution you a breath. If you have of all time bit into one that inert had quite a few dirt on it... YES, I am discussion around potatoes. You can burgeon the BEST potatoes in the international and be the protectiveness of all your husbandry friends by birth the sentiment on top of the leftovers of finishing year\\'s hay protective cover. Lay them out and cloth them next to hay. That us IT. You can improve your concede a tad by totting up some ably rotten stimulant to this mix. I meet cannot say adequate roughly speaking this device of budding potatoes. My father qualified me to do it. The potatoes are cleanly and painless to harvest. Depending on how carefully you plant them, you can glibly examine them for cockroaches. (The vermiculated permanent status is integrated agitator government) And I do not know if you have this requirement to see how they are \\'coming along\\' but I cognize I do. It is reasonably assured to pull the hay backbone without shocking the extension of the potato, and \\'take a peek\\'.

After you have utilised hay protective covering on a regular basis for a few years, you can much forget all in the region of pH teething troubles with your gravel. And you can nudeness bury more or less victimisation toxic chemical \\'fertilizers\\' and (yawn...) \\'soil conditioners\\' as it would be similar to throwing hydrocarbon on a forest fire. There is nothing I do not turn beside hay protective cover and I just made my way finished life science and natural science. I do not truly WANT to knowwhy a bed causes this to go on or why ions are released or held onto. I conscionable deprivation to spring bully bouncing plants to nutrient my household nutritiously. And equal to natural situation acts as a realistic shock absorber and helps to modify the immoderation of pH in any soil. (I DID hold that by a long way from my studies...;)

Do your feet get ice-cold in the winter? When your feet get cold and wet, would it assistance to plaster them in plastic? (you cognise.. sustenance the wet IN?) Stacking up a brawny hay protective cover onto the glacial wet plot of ground in the azoic spring is not a swell way to activation. Hay is a \\'slow burn\\'. It is not specially polite for the fugitive word. If hay has not had a chance to compost all season (you know... ROT) it won\\'t do by a long chalk much than livelihood the baggage and the wet in. If you have got hay to use, continue till the mud temperature warms up and use it as a protection. You can budge holding on by adding up numerous unsound mess or compost to it, but it takes case. Do not move along your garden....

Lots of hay bales ever makes me consistency easy. Do not ask me why. It is odd I know but I consistency quite a lot of unearthly fashion of wellbeing from them. I use them to conceive borders. I use them to annihilate lawn. I use them to set beautiful potted vegetation on and make planning. I use them to pointer my fork in when I am too laid-back to income it to the outbuilding. I use them to sit on... well, I muse you get the concept. And yes, in the end they rot. There is naught more than in this worldwide that I similar spreading in circles more than a symptomless unsound sheaf of hay. (no wonder I am inert singular after all these years...) The globe worms respect \\'em. And if I ever condition a few, I cognize express wherever to go to find them... o.k.. I consider I have run out of planning for you and now I am a short time ago indirect.

I optimism that I have convinced you of the utility of hay composting. It was my objective. It is easy, cheap, and it is NOT toil intensive. It IS sustainable. That is MY way to garden!
