Question...do you removed the bindings of the bales? Also, do you use a liquid general purpose fertilizer after you have finished prepping the bales? A friend used this method for growing basil a few years ago. He pulled up and brought in one of the plants and it was the biggest basil plant I had ever seen. Now I raise most of my veggies in raised beds, but am going to 5 gallon buckets for my toms, eggplant and peppers this year.

Thanks for posting this.

Howdy! No - if the binding string gets cut, the bale essentially explodes into a pile of hay. NRaleighLiberal Apr 2016 #2

Thanks alfie Apr 2016 #3

2 tomatoes or eggplant or peppers per bale is perfect NRaleighLiberal Apr 2016 #4
