Most seedlings seem to making their way through it!

I’m hoping stuff like the radishes can get through though, beans are going gang busters with it though, seems to have helped the peas as well. Generally everything since the tops been kept moist!

    in that case, be careful about your sources. You wouldn’t want to introduce pesticides, herbicides, fungicides you try to avoid ( if that’s what you do), through straws from a poison farm

    i would have kept those straw beds 3, 4 times thicker

      They seem to be good

      Honestly, I wanted to go with hemp, but it was all online order and wouldn’t have gotten here fast enough. Which is strange with them being local, I can’t just drive there.Hempalta

      I agree, they recommend 2” thick, but I’m worried about the seedlings making it through. The radish tops would barely crest the top by harvest time?

        just make an opening with your hand where you seed/plant and your plants grow towards the light

          Only a few of my stuff is planted in rows, most is scatter planted. Limits my options unfortunately. Learning stuff though.
