Re: use of old hay
Yes JPN, you can use old hay.
Even if it no longer has all its energy value, what remains to it will return to the earth with the help of all living organisms and especially earthworms if there are any already.
According to Didier's advice, don't skimp on thickness. It is a natural trend we think we have put thick but with time and rain it flattens.
So that the light does not pass so that the weeds do not cross it takes between 10 and 15cm once flattened.

Hello, beware of old hay dust, there are often molds which sucked up can cause lung problems, especially with repeated and long-term handling, but even occasionally it is better to wear a mask to handle it.
