     No sooner had I gone out and gotten 10 bales of hay
     consisting of bermuda and rye grasses did I read in
     Jeavon's book "How to Grow More Vegetable" that bermuda
     grass is a pernicious weed that will probably not be killed
     in the decomposition process (I don't want to do "hot"
     composting), and which will choke out other plants when it
     resprouts after the compost is put in the planting bed.
     Does anyone know if this only applies to the fresh grass,
     so dried hay is O.K.? Would somehow "solarizing" the hay
     help? I haven't yet learned how to do that properly.
     Thanks!
