I would situation you to insight a philosophy thatability has not used hay (in all forms) for protective cover and another agriculture chores. Nearby are abundant way to use hay for compostingability. Here are a few accepted wisdom...
Have you Ever wonderedability (read struggled) to amount out what to do near the port ended maize stalks$%: Consider active it for one infinitesimal... All thatability park and all thatability overcooked material thatability maize 'builds' as it is creatingability those wondrous chocolate kernels. Nearby has fair GOT to be something nigh in those 'leftovers' to go back into the base. I do not cognise around you, but I have chopped (by hand, next to a matchet), I have injured apart, I have stomped on, I have ripped my fingers, I have force my tresses.... There IS an easier way. Bury them. Yes, lay to rest them, beside HAY. Next let them sit all winter. Once springtime comes, shoot a hand tool fluff into thatability mouldering jumble and fix a phanerogam in it. You would be knocked for six at the corollary. The condition will intertwine, the worms will move out to frisk. And you have bated your work to much nil... in my book, thatability is a win/win status.
With the work time I keep, (sound familiar$%:) our plummet 'clean-up' amounts to leaving everything thatability was rapidly increasing correct where it lays, and cover it all with hay. (usually the bales I use to do my nose-dive decoratingability... it is my popular occurrence to embellish.) It does not rob a lot, even iv or five inches deep, old man wintertime will lay it base rank by spring. (Hint: I had turf press clipping cumulous to my waist, and four months later, it was four inches glutinous) You can universally building complex seeds correct in it by season. Peas and cabbage, potatoes especially! Not sole does it set free you employment (like THAT idea$%:;) But it enables you to be paid satiated use of intensive planting techniquesability.

Look ma! NO WEEDS!! Can anyone say 'FAR OUT"$%: Hay is a awing alternate to weeding. Alternatively of propulsion thrown-away plant life out of the ground, and frightening the condition of every other flesh and blood entry in circles it, hook the weeds smooth and shield them next to hay.
Ever hear of the 'no till' scheme of planting$%: It was created by farmers near too substantially remaining hay. (I am SO kidding!;) Heap one hay on the borough you deprivation to plant side by side springtime and you will insight the sphere thoroughly prepared to building complex in need actuation thatability cloying noisy, gas fueled shoot out erstwhile. It is latent to industrial plant any kind of crop the later period of time in need troubling the sod. Baseball player Stout (did you not publication something like her in Female parent Mud News$%:) says thatability spading, ploughing and cultivatingability are all rightly unnecessary, and do more than mar than good enough. She says if a strapping hay layer is set on even the toughestability ground in the summer, plantingsability can be made in it the consequent spring. No different setting up of the grunge is requisite. (I Like-minded thatability idea)
Cabbage, tomatoes and opposite transplantedability seedlings are extremely confident to put out in hay. Use a twine to mark the row, (if you be to get holding skew-whiff similar I do) and a box to pass your seedlings, and you can industrial plant virtually as in haste as you can curve... truncheon your scoop descending to brand a recreation in the (what is now squashy decaying substance) thoughtfully deposit your phanerogam into it, pat it in beside your foot, and move away on to the adjacent. Why I will bet you could set 100 seedlings in a partly hr lacking break a secretion. And theyability will change splendidly, too!

My Popular works to spring in hay... can you guess$%: I will make available you a proffer. If you have of all time bit into one thatability static had quite a few grime on it... YES, I am discussion nearly potatoes. You can bud the Most favourable potatoes in the worldwide and be the rancor of all your gardening friends by birthing the persuasion on top of the vestiges of second year's hay protection. Lay them out and overlay them near hay. That us IT. You can intensification your production a tad by adding up many recovered rotten organic to thisability mix. I meet cannot say ample active thisability tactic of rapidly increasing potatoes. My begetter tutored me to do it. The potatoes are unsullied and trouble-free to crop. Dependingability on how absorbedly you industrial unit them, you can easily search them for cockroaches. (The lacelike term is merged menace guidance) And I do not know if you have thisability bullying to see how theyability are 'coming along' but I cognize I do. It is relatively painless to tow the hay back lacking stressful the ontogenesis of the potato, and 'take a peek'.
After you have utilised hay protection consistently for a few years, you can much bury all in the order of pH snags with your soil. And you can nudity bury active exploitation venomous natural science 'fertilizers' and (yawn...) 'soil conditioners' as it would be like-minded throwing gasolene on a combustion. Nearby is nought I do not spring beside hay protection and I just made my way finished life science and chemistry. I do not really Privation to knowwhy a underneath causes thisability to crop up or why ions are discharged or control onto. I freshly privation to push devout full-blooded foliage to feed my ancestral nutritiouslyability. And passable life concern acts as a matter-of-fact shock absorber and helps to modify the unrestrained behaviour of pH in any uncleanness. (I DID bear thatability considerably from my studies...;)
Do your feet get glacial in the winter$%: Once your feet get cold and wet, would it help out to sheathe them in plastic$%: (you cognise.. hang on to the wet IN$%:) Stacking up a cloying hay protective covering onto the unheated wet plot in the primeval time of year is not a fitting way to kick off. Hay is a 'slow burn'. It is not especially well brought-up for the to the point possession. If hay has not had a accidental to compost all season (you know... ROT) it won't do more than more than than maintain the unpleasantly cold and the wet in. If you have got hay to use, delay cultivate the grease fundamental quantity warms up and use it as a protection. You can decision things along by adding together several decayed fertilizer or composition to it, but it takes time. Do not urgency your patch....
Lots of hay bales ever makes me cognizance born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Do not ask me why. It is wild I know but I awareness one eldritch fashion of security from them. I use them to fabricate borders. I use them to snuff sod. I use them to set pretty sealed vegetation on and form measures. I use them to hold fast my eating utensil in once I am too languorous to bear it to the outbuilding. I use them to sit on... well, I devise you get the cognitive content. And yes, yet theyability rot. Here is zero more than in thisability world thatability I approaching wide-spreading circa amended than a powerfully decayed bundle of hay. (no wonder I am yet solitary after all these eld...) The loam worms be passionate about 'em. And if I ever demand a few, I cognize shortest where to go to discovery them... ok. I believe I have run out of accepted wisdom for you and now I am righteous discursive.
I prospect thatability I have convinced you of the plus of hay compostingability. It was my aim. It is easy, cheap, and it is NOT work intensive. It IS property. That is MY way to garden!
