No.
Hay takes a long time to decompose, before it "feeds" the soil and soil organisms. It would happen too late ...
And then it would not be so simple: do not cover the seeds?

Already decomposed hay placed after emergence (like surfacing)? Or take the part of his land located under the hay in his land (with a little hay: 5 cm for example) and spread the hay to let sow?

I would have to try the diluted urine in my wells whose plants drag a little because of the weather ...

It seems that the nettle manure works to promote rooting ... I tested but I am not sure neither of the manure that I had, nor of the result. Besides, although I paid attention to the dosage, the leaves were a little crimson around the edge!

Oops, I didn't think I would start a controversy, especially following an error on my part
It is not compost but compost graciously offered by a neighbor who brings it back from a platform.
I try (following an old post on the main thread) to overcome the drying effect of hay (yellowing of the leaves) on young plants
FYI, my sowing in pots is done in vegetable soil (collected just under the hay layer) mixed with this sieved compost and just a hint of coffee grounds (it looks like a cooking recipe ).
They are indoors until germination and then under frame on the terrace of the house placed on plates or other containers (recovery of sausage trays, ...).
"Watered" from below (in containers) with rainwater.
About once a week, I dilute a little (5 to 10%) of urine before "watering".

Pictures of the 22nd of this month.
Frame made of recovery (pallet boards and a caravan window)
Les Marmandes from LIDL (left), cherry tomatoes in the jar.
These are already in the vegetable patch, the others (in the chassis) are still pending to this day.

I approve of the use of the soil in which the shoots will then be replanted.
Uh I approve without knowing if this constitutes a real difference between: sow them in potting soil and then replant them in the garden soil
But psychologically it suits me better
On the other hand the coffee grounds we did not have a discussion on this subject?
I seemed to read that it was an "anti germinating"
Is it true?

For coffee grounds, just a handful for 3 to 4 liters of soil / compost (about 70/30).
My soil being clay, I try, with my means, of the "diluted"
If the snails didn't cause me so much trouble, I would sow cucumbers, melons, watermelons directly in the vegetable patch
See even the tomatoes

I understand but why dilute your earth?
Anyway, it's "in there" that your vegetables will grow next, so ... it's not much work for nothing.
Have you seen what tomato seeds grow in?
But without necessarily going so far have you made a comparative test?
- seedlings in your "amended" soil
- sowing in your land without doing anything

Re: A Kitchen Garden Sloth in the Hérault (St-Chinian)
I wondered why sometimes my houseplants did not like the coffee I was dropping in droves. It must be said that I drink it, but I drink it!
Your plants are beautiful: beautiful green on the leaves and strong stem! These plants at Lidl, they were basic?
Platform composts, I wonder what they recycle, it seems that some reprocess "sludge" from water reprocessing. They put this in the shared garden of my village and one thing is certain, it is rather rich ...
I keep the seedling recipe. Especially the coffee grounds technique because I have the same type of soil.
Why water from below?
