Once the bales are prepped, I use a balanced fertilizer weekly - they need lots of watering (it is all above the ground and they get baked pretty good by the sun), so there is significant leeching of nutrition out of the bales that need regular replacement.

Ask anything if you give it a try - I can guide you along if you wish.
