I read on the web that it is possible to do some raised bed gardening using conditioned straw-bales as the media. So back to the farmer I went for 6 more bales. Basically, using Urea at gradually reducing potencies, one can speed the decomposition process, so that come planting time, the bales are sufficiently rotted to allow them to be planted into.
These are my bales being prepped. I have fastened soaker hoses to them to make the watering process simpler. Hopefully in a few weeks time I can report plant growth. Looking to grow tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, an assortment of herbs, and squash or melon. And I hope to be more successful than I was with our syrup making. Don`t ask.
