This year the plan is to expand the garden. The soil here is beach sand and rocks... Lots of rocks. I have made stone walls everywhere with all the rocks that have been dug up. We read about planting a garden in a hay bale and decided to give it a try.
We had 30 bales delivered and set them out. Thbe open spaces have been filled with composted chicken hay( hay form the chicken yard) and will be topped off with compost. Here we will plant root crops. Carrots, parsnips and beets
In the tires we will plant pumpkins and squash. Potatoes and onions will go in the beds of the old gardenWe are now in the process of conditioning the bales. Keep them very wet, and fertilized.
I am using Garden Tone fertilizer, which is organic.
Once the bales are conditioned, and it is warm enough to plant, we should have a good garden.
