Adding 2000sq ft to my garden
Dear husband finally cut the trees that allows me to add quite a bit to my garden.
Problem - I cleared the area (@2000 sq ft) and decided to mulch it with straw to keep the weeds at bay until I double dig in Sep/Oct. I thought I had been very careful finding straw not hay, but the straw seeds have germinated below the layer of straw. Although I have no "weeds" per se I now have a lot of straw growing up through my 3-4inches of mulch. Should I spray, turn over or leave it (or is this a nightmare I can't wake from)? I am lost. |
