Has 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!

Also, were you able to just till it into your soil at the end of the growing season? That's one of the most attractive benefits of salt marsh hay, IMHO. And, did you have any problems with mold?

I didn't have any problems with mold, and it didn't blow away - the chunks were pretty big. I did just dig it in at the end of the growing season, but most of it was still there in the spring. I raked out the chunks that seemed big enough to be a problem, and dumped them into the compost pile.
