Straw bale garden update June 2nd

tomato plants

On May 31st 20101 added  some tomato plants costing 25 cents each into the straw bales that had not been treated with any fertilizer at all. However, they had bee regularly watered over a period of 2 weeks, so some decomposition should have taken place.

This was done to see if there was any difference between the growth and viability plants growing in  the bales pre-soaked in “digestate” from the biodigester and those with nothing added at all.

Hoping to add some more straw bales this week that have been pre-soaked in “digestate”.

Below is a photo of some peppers planted on May 31st in the straw bales without “digestate”.
