[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 6227930, member: 5764"] Ah, but straw isn't the only kind of OM ;) If the OP is just tilling in a whole turds load of straw into the soil then yes, I can see you quickly running into a case of too much. It would upset the balance of decomposition and soil make up as well as probably lead to poor growth due to root exposure since loose straw isn't the greatest growing medium. However if it's just a generalized "Can you have too much organic matter, in varying stages of decomposition, feeding and making up a portion of your soil." then I would be really surprised if the answer was yes. It would probably have to be an incredibly high number. [/QUOTE]
