Hay there, Stilly. In all of our years of gardening here I have never had extra hay. We've used it for soil building, land stabilization, plateau building, mulch, house banking, no-till gardens, veggie storage, raised beds, compost... you get the idea. We build the soil, plant, mulch, harvest, replant, mulch, etc. Even the raised garden along the road was built solely from hay bales, discarded potting soil, and tired sod from other places.

By now, there are very few gardens here that need tilling. On the other hand, nearly every garden and outbuilding will be changed or moved now that the house is gone and our new one built.
