Hello everyone, I fear my potatoes have verticillium wilt. I started the bed from scratch last fall with cardboard and lots of spoiled hay. I am wondering what I should do with the hay now. Is it safe to compost? Should I burn it? HALP

Where was your hay from? Are you sure it's not wilting from herbicide use on the hay you used for mulch?
