Strawbale gardening....Its workin....

I won't be using the triple 10, I did start a compost tea with alfalfa in it specifically for these bales though....my good compost tea can is still not here though, I have one of those garbage cans from school but a black one, and it heats up the tea better...also do not have a pump or with that darned black can and a pond pump I could pump out five gallons of tea a day!

I checked the pH today, mostly between 6 and 7 with a few spikes in different bales that went off my meter, but this is just one of those hand held jobbies you stick in the ground! Tomorrows water may take care of that....more pics of yours as they grow too!
