I have a place i'm going to be sowing in grass that was recently dressed by a dozer. i saw an ad for some 5 year old hay for .50 per bale. Is there anything wrong with using that instead of straw to cover it?
Hay for grass covering.

Im not sure about hay, but I know you can get a lot of weeds from straw at times. I think I would go for it at $0.50/bale its steal/deal - You can always work on getting the weeds out once the grass it established..

You will get more weeds with hay, but a quick weed treatment will take care of it.

BUT what would i do with the left over 115 bales of straw I had to buy to get that price? LOL im assuming you to a volume discount price. Locally its about $4.50/bale around here..
