I totally understand you. I had around 80 plants! Had to make a lot of tomato sauce. 😂

the cover crop coming from those seeds really helps with microbial life in the soil as well, i have been thinking a lot about adding straw to my compost i just have to do it

The only time I had grass seeds spout was when I put fresh cut grass to mulch the raised beds on top. If I used bales of hay, the hay was dead and for some reason, that did not ever grow more hay/grass.

Is there a difference between using old hay and fresh grass clippings in a routh stout garden?

Deep mulch gardener for 3 years...prior to that I was a traditional till gardener. I have the exact same issue but with 'Johnson Grass'! Are these grasses the same or just eerily similar? Way to many similarities. I've pulled 5' long roots of Johnson Grass roots out from under my garden spot mulch! 😰😰😱😱

carrots do better in dirty soil, non composted, non decaying matter underneath. no rocks. can’t know this until you dig it out. what i going with charles dowding no dig is that he started on a pasture. that is different from random rocky poor ground

More approaches should result in more plants. Although it seems to have been working fine for the last million or so years just by watching videos on YT and doing nothing else.

I use a combination of hay and living mulch in most of my beds. Any weeds the hay brings with it just get chop and dropped with the rest of the living mulch. Free nutrients!

When I see people using either hay or straw my first concern is if is contaminated with Grazon, an herbicide.

They used to make bread from the roots, tea seems like a low value return on effort. You could drag the roots through a hole drilled in a board to get rid of the side roots and then cut handfuls to shorter length much much faster than all that snipping. Bread is worth the effort, plenty of other better\easier tea plants.

I will give a caveat. Make sure you test any hay or straw for Grazon it will kill any broad leaf crop .
@OnkyoGradyАй бұрын
I've never used straw, and I have used hay as surface mulch, as rebar of sorts in-between compost layers, and to intentionally seed lawn (specific bails). I've never had a weed problem from it. If it's top dressing it's too thick for seeds, if it's buried you'll have thick top dress on top of that anyway, and to make it work as a seed delivery vehicle you need to have the perfect bail and barely shake it on the surface.

Have a look at Charles Dowding for an English example of no dig horticulture - not a Ruth Stout method but using compost in a similar manner.

Hm. This is interesting. I’ve only grown the soil way and compacting was a big issue. Next season I am trying this.
