  1. 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?

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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?

  5. 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

  6. 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?

  7. 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'.

  8. 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!
