The Davis Square Community

I got salt marsh hay from Mahoney's in Winchester. It's annoying, because it's not chopped; you used to be able to get salt marsh they chopped pretty finely from Pemberton and from Ricky's in Union Square. Now the stuff they sell that stuff isn't salt marsh hay anymore, and it's full of weed seeds, so all I've seen is the big rough bales at Mahoney's.

(It's fine for a lot of garden uses, but in tiny urban gardens, we are usually dealing with small raised beds, and I liked it when it was tidier. I still use it on my strawberries, but it's not nearly as pretty as the chopped stuff.)
