Soybean Straw Garden Mulch

Soybean Straw Garden Mulch Tom Gogerty likes using soybean straw to mulch his garden because it’s relatively seed and weed-free compared with oats straw or grass The problem is that the soybean residue is too coarse and bulky to handle easily So he makes a pile of residue and chops it with his lawn mower collecting it in the mower’s bag The chopped straw is much easier to spread around small plants and covers the ground more tightly It’s also more absorbent to hold moisture Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Tom Gogerty 216 E 21st Street Madrid Iowa 50156 ph 515 795-2685
