This week I started my second attempt in 10 years using straw bales. Last time I bought a load of bales & went for it using some fertilizers & water. Wasn't very successful. Recently I listened to some podcasts & read a useful description on the milorganite website.
Monday I got 5 bales (more manageable + the price has gone up a lot), put 3 cups of milorganite in each bale, watered & covered them in black plastic (to help any weed sprouting). So far, so good.

I'd forgotten that this had happened last year. The things we don't remember!

Finally, I'm beating the birds and squirrels to the ingredients necessary for green tomato chutney!

We conducted our first harvest on Sunday ... Marnie enjoyed the experience of harvesting from the tubes compared to the ground. Made a huge difference in her comfort.
