http://strraw.notlong.com/ 29 March 2007 Rototilling straw into Garden Bed. This is the first rototilling, and the soil is a bit too wet Zone 5.

23 March 2007. The soil is presently too wet to work. I had some straw used as mulch to winter protect my Canna Lilies, so I decided to shred it and place on the garden bed to increase the fibre content. It will be rototilled into the soil when the moisture content is appropiate. I found that the straw almost completely disappears come planting time about the 24 of May or earlier. Fibre keeps the soil friable.
