what to do with old corn stalks?

 Hi All,

   My corn experiment kind of went bust. I think my
soil is too poor.  I will try amending my soil more
next year.

    In the mean time, what do I do with the old stalks?
Toss them in the trash?  Plow them under?  Shake
fist at and accuse parents of not being married?

Many thanks,
-T

Would just burying them 6" under have the same effect?

In the long run.  The stalks take a while to break down, you could speed the
whole thing up by running over them a few times with a mower.

Cut and cover with mulch.

Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and
Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And
it¹s not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid
of corporate welfare. That¹s hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second
is you tax corporations so that they don¹t get away with no taxation.
