Assuming the hay is herbicide free it will work great as a mulch.  Have some friends who use it all the time.

First year we were in this business we had some hay lying around that we put round some of our fall tomatoes.  Worked great until it rained and the herbicide leached into the ground, all the tomatoes with the hay wilted and had signs of herbicide damage the others didn't.  As herbicide free hay is almost nonexistant around here we haven't used it since.

I had some hey that went bad after being rained on  for several days. Would
this be good for mulch around veggie plants?
