I've only attempted this on a very small scale, but am looking forward to having the space to try it on a larger scale in the future!
It was really informative video. Have a great day
Awesome video and answers ya gave here! There is no doubt once you try them you will be hooked! Thanks for the Q&A here buddy! Keep'm coming and hope you have a great week!
Nice intro! We’re finally able to try straw bale gardening this year. Looking forward to the results.
Great information and testimonial! Hoping ours are as successful as yours.
Take care,
Rob
I am interested in this straw bale method. well..any method and technique in gardening. great information
I have told everyone about your channel and your straw bale gardening. Wonderful information and video.
We are going to experiment with this ourselves to see how it goes for us
Looking forward to seeing your garden this year!
I cant wait for the next one. I really want to know how to condition them.. I think Im gonna try to find a bale to try it. If I get it now.. Do I need to keep it dry until I learn how you condition it?
Saw your channel in the Facebook group small YouTube homesteaders thought i would come and subscribe and check your channel out.
I'm going to have to watch the progress all summer and get the skinny on this. I may give it a shot next year when I have a bit more time. Great introduction Opie!
I’m following your season with great interest! It’s nice to learn about different gardening techniques and systems

New subscriber from Georgia. I came over from Little Village Homestead. Interesting technique! I can’t wait to see more! Thank you for sharing!
Very nice introduction, lots of great information here.
Wow, I hadn't heard of this method until someone mentioned your channel in a facebook group. I think I'll try this! Thanks so much for sharing.
I heard about from the collaboration that you guys are doing !! I wan't to be your friend and so I hit your bell and will be following…. My channel is Permaculture, but I would like to participate with this. Maybe with just a couple of straw bales.
i learned so much. this may have been the way to go with all this rain
Hi nice to meet you. Came over from GDP live. Great video.
super channel …
Just subbed! Learning lots about straw bales gardening from you! Hopefully you can sub back!
Great stuff! real nice garden! Thanks for sharing.
What happens if it freezes overnight? I'm heading into day 3 and noticing no temp increase. Also would this method work for leaves and wood chips in a raised bed?
Wow… what a great video! It's really beautiful! The video is really clean
feel free and the surroundings are so pretty..Thanks to you, I've traveled to a new place.
I think I came across found a really good channel while surfing YouTube!
Thanks to you! From your new Korean friend
I'm in Central Indiana and usually can't find straw bales in the spring so I purchased some this weekend (fall). Do I have to store these indoors and wait until spring or can they sit out in the garden, get a bit mushy, and condition them in the spring for nutrients?
As a busy first timer to your Channel I would have loved to get a peek at your Garden.
I am starting with a few Bales I pressed in a crush I made myself due to the very high cost here in Israel [would you believe about US$20 a Bale?]
But I enjoyed getting some first hand info from someone who has 'been there and done it'.
Now I have a purpose for the 38 straw bales we have going this year! I planted my potatoes in grow bags this summer so my yield will be small, but next year I can plant taters galore!
