davis_squareHas anyone seen any salt marsh hay available in the area? Pemberton Farms doesn't have any, and neither does Wilson Farm in Lexington.
If not, anyone have any other recommendations for organic mulch for a vegetable garden? Preferably one I can get locally. Thanks!

I did that for my garden last year and got it from Gardener's Supply in Vermont, who are great. Reconstituting the cube in a big bucket was just like playing with those strange foam-dinosaur-in-a-capsule bath toys when I was a kid!
