I read a book about straw bale gardening. The bale requires a bit of composting first. So one is wrapped in plastic to accelerate. Once it’s happy we’ll move to other bale. Next month seed potatoes will be sold at feed store and we can put them in. Thanks to friends of blog for donating their leftover fall decoration bales to this experiment.

Are the bales typically used as mulch once you get the composting process going, or mixed into the soil?

They’re supposed to be the growing medium itself.
