I have a few bales from two winters ago, that should be rotted enough eh? I also have bales from this past winter, I used them around my septic tank, the dog house and then I use them in my compost but I have a few to spare for the garden.
I wish I had a smaller yard to mow! I can't wait till I can be full time at the cabin/future home, it's nice and bushy so no lawn to mow, lol. ;)
Yeah. They should work for you.
