Craig's Straw bale book has been released!

Thanks for reply, Craig. I never know how/whether garden will go each year, and currently the main area I want to use the bales on plastic is still under permanent snow cover, but it's diminishing, so if I can, I'll go ahead and get bales in place if it emerges, even briefly, from the snow, and then condition them later -- probably May.

If you have any inspirations about how to make them unattractive to voles, let me know. Currently my best thought is to let Malamute puppy mark them regularly -- by spring he should be old enough to think that a great assignment.
