Year 3- Hay Bale Gardening


I made Becky some new salad beds from 2-55 gallon barrels cut in half and mounted in a frame that is movable 

Tomatoes growing on rotting hale bales. The hay bales were put in place in November and allowed to rot.

Lettuce and beets growing on last year's hay bales. Root crops do really well  rotted hay.

These tomatoes are growing on wheat straw to use as an experiment to compare hay versus straw bales.
