I put an earlier post in and I should have said Lupin mulch not
lucerne......

not sure what lupin mulch is but would expect like lucerne mulch hay
it has lots of nutrients to add as it breaks down, what price is it?

if you live near rural there should e opportunities for all sorts of
spoilt hay's.

Lupin hay is cut from a field of lupins which are a flowering legume used as
fodder.  It is closely related, perhaps a cultivar, to the lupin grown in
flower gardens.  It is a way of getting fodder that is high in nitrogen
compounds (utilised by stock to put on muscle) and so is very similar to
lucerne.  It is excellent organic material to put on your soil as it adds
nitrogen as well as carbon.

Feed merchants and the farmers who grow it.  If it is feed quality it would
be fairly expensive bought in small quantities especially in the city.
Spoiled hay is much cheaper and just as good for the garden as a mulch
and/or a soil improver.
