Hay Bales
Our hay bales have been cut when the hay seed heads are at their lowest, minimising the risk of introducing unwanted seeds into your garden, which can compete with your other plants. When sourcing hay, we go to great lengths to ensure it is free from herbicides and pesticides that could harm garden plants.
Please contact us if you’d like more information on the type of bales on offer as they will vary.
Our local suppliers are a great choice for finding quality, untreated hay. It might be helpful to ask about the hay’s history and how it was grown as the bales will change depending on the field that gets utilised.
Hay is an excellent choice for garden mulch, offering:
1. Weed Suppression: Mulch can help block sunlight, reducing weed growth and competition for nutrients and water.
2. Moisture Retention: It helps retain soil moisture by reducing evaporation, which is crucial during dry spells.
3. Soil Improvement: As the hay breaks down, it adds organic matter to the soil, enhancing its structure and fertility. This can support healthy soil microbe diversity.
4. Temperature Regulation: Mulch insulates the soil, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, benefiting plant roots.
5. Application: To apply, spread a layer of hay 2-4 inches thick around your plants, leaving some space around the stems to prevent rot.
6. Decomposition: Over time, hay will decompose and can improve soil structure and nutrient content. This process can also enhance microbial diversity.
7. Monitoring Moisture: Monitor the moisture levels under the hay, especially during dry periods, as mulch can sometimes prevent rain from reaching the soil directly in some cases.
8. Replenishing Mulch: Depending on decomposition rates, you may need to refresh the hay mulch periodically to maintain its effectiveness.
By choosing to use local, spray-free hay, you are also supporting sustainable practices and helping to ensure a healthy garden ecosystem.
