weeds in the garden
is it ok to put down 6-7 inchs of straw in a vegetable garden to keep weeds down?
Hi, Yes, as long as the straw is weed-free. I would wait till your crops are a few inches tall before adding the mulch in order to keep from smothering them, but ultimately, a straw mulch is a good weed preventative. Plus, a mulch encourages consistent soil moisture which is essential for good veggie growth--particularly with crops such as tomatoes.
