After one year of straw-bale mulch on virgin ground we have turned solid turf on clay soil into ready-for-seeds, rich, weed-free garden soil. Get updates on the experiment at http://www.livingasimplelife.com .
So it took a year for the 3-5 inches of straw to kill the grass? Ruth Stout said at least 7 inches of straw to keep the weeds down, so maybe 3-5 would be enough?
