So, we had some frustration, satisfaction, laughs and hope as we used a hay mulcher to tuck in all of the brassicas. The frustration, new tool, how to blow hay over young plants without hurting them. Satisfaction as it all got mulched beautifully. Laughs, well look at the photos. And hope that this will mean little to no weeding in this zone this summer. Here’s hoping.

Yes, whole hay bales got chopped up and sprayed through the tube and became a nice 4-6 inch layer of mulch!
