This sounds strangely like a practice we used back on the farm when we started a new garden plot on bad, rocky ground. We would take bales of spoiled hay and dig out a hole in the hay bale, maybe 8"-10" deep and fill it with good garden soil. We would then plant right into the soil sitting in the hay bale after giving the whole thing a good soaking. Over the season, the hay would break down and gradually settle to a few inches above ground level, and the plants would thrive in the newly created humus full of earthworms. At the end of the season, we would just till in the rotted hay, and we had a new bed for the next season. Ron The Garden Guy http://www.TheGardenGuy.org "Read articles & journal entries"

I think its another triumph of ingenuity over common sense, possibly caused by loss of brain cells or someone with too much time in their hands :) Cheap though!
