We had our Fall straw delivery this morning.

29 bales delivered and stacked for 145 dollars.

It might be enough to get us through the Autumn mulching frenzy.

its lots more expensive here. But I need some. I'm convinced one can never have too much: mulch compost manure

I have been mulching heavely for the past 18 months. I am surprised at how moist the soil stays during the summer and how warm the soil is during the winter.

I expand on my garden every year and will have to buy more bales to get me through the winter and into the spring.
