Looks interesting and I wouldn't mind trying but certainly isn't cheap. Using the calculator on the website we would need 8 bags for our veg. garden - that £80 plus any delivery cost... If someone would like to fund us doing a trial on I'd be delighted.

Hi My husband developed Strulch at Leeds University. I wondered if you had seen our website www.strulch.co.uk We uses a patented process which preserves the straw and turns it dark brown. It breaks down very slowly over two years and therefore prevents nitrogen leaching from the soil. It has a nuetral pH so can be used anywhere in the garden. It is sold in bulk from us in 25 or 50 150 litre bags and each bag covers 4.5 sq m .It is also possible to buy 100 litre bags for 3 sq metres. It is light and easy to use. It goes a long way and lasts for up to two years so it is value for money. Worth some experimentation.

no never heard of it . is it a straw based mulch? if it is partly rotted it will be fine but if fresh it will deplete some of the nitrogen initially.
