RE: 7 Things I learned Gardening in 2019
I heavily mulch with hay as I plant and seldom do more than 20 mins of weeding in one of my big gardens every couple weeks. I even take the time in the spring when it is cool to tuck hay around plants. Much easier when it's cool, than weeding when it's hot.
I had to lay my hay pathways twice, figure I'll make them thicker this year.
I try to use baled hay because the 4" packed leaves are the perfect depth/size for pathways. I NEVER shake the leaves out, leave them packed they work excellently that way.
