The pH levels become basic and the fauna in the soil is disturbed. On the other hand, the structure of the soil remains intact, and it may be the easiest way for them to kill noxious weed seeds.Kate/ Beyond the Brambleshttp://beyondthebrambles.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912777366749033592.post-59430734447898167372011-05-10T20:00:15.444+02:002011-05-10T20:00:15.444+02:00Burning straw and stubble has been banned in Engla...Burning straw and stubble has been banned in England because of fire risk, damage to wildlife and general nuisance (smoke). Farmers are encouraged to plough it in if possible.

If the straw and stubble were left as mulch, then lightly ploughed in when the next crop goes in? I believe they do that somewhere. Perhaps on organically farmed wheat?Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912777366749033592.post-29382434165962615472011-04-30T21:52:00.151+02:002011-04-30T21:52:00.151+02:00The farmers around here all burn their fields.
