Straw Glorious Straw

Thirty Bales of Wheat Straw

Today, we had thirty bales of wheat straw delivered. Once we harvest the beds, we will mulch all the paths of the Produce Garden with wheat straw. The wheat straw will smother any weeds in the paths. Later, we will mulch the beds with leaves. 

As you know, we mulched Beds 29-30 this spring with flax straw. The flax straw did its job in minimizing weeds in those two beds and keeping the soil moist. However, it has not rotted as much as we had anticipated. Wheat straw will work much better.
