[QUOTE="Norfolk Olly, post: 1682502, member: 1108"] We tried this method with organic onions, to control weeds. Planted the onions as usual, then put straw on top with a teagle straw spreader, it worked well and kept the weeds away much better than repetitively hand weeding and hoeing. The onions grew well and we thought when we topped them it would also remove 60/70% of the straw then we could cope mechanically harvesting the rest. Did it hell, couldn't do anything with it, tge straw had become a mat, they all had to be hand harvested and hand topped, all 40 odd acres!!! Close to 600 ton if I remember correctly [/QUOTE]
