called "Straw Bale Gardening"... Is that your handiwork? I'm giving it a try this year. I live in the woods, on a backlot on sloped property, mostly hard ledge. I've tried some container gardening and raised beds, but trucking in good dirt is hard work. Hoping the straw will be a good intermediary step for soil building. It's been almost 2 weeks with feeding and watering the bales, but they haven't gotten over 80 degrees. It's been cold at night here and not very warm during the days (western MA)... Should I keep adding food or just keep watering?
