I like the physical setup and appearance of your garden so much. I would love to see more videos when you have time. Really appreciate what you've shown so far.

Your straw bale garden always looks the best. Thanks for the great videos. Can you show more on how you plant each kind of plant. Do you plant tall, indeterminate tomatoes on bales? I am turning my whole backyard into garden since we just bought this house. I am finding it very hard to find the amonium nitrate and other fertilizers as well as the Neptune's Harvest. What stores do you find these at?

why do you fill the inside of your square bales with compost? Looks amazing!

Hello. Are you using straw or hay? This looks like straw to me. Beautiful setup! I’m doing my first garden this year. I appreciate your videos.

I love what you offer. Some price of things could be helpful.

I want to start a straw bale garden, however I want to set my bales out now. Will they deteriorate by next spring? I was going to condition them next spring prior to planting.

Help! I got hay bales and they took longer to cool down. Got as hot as 168 and 150. Very hot still at 2 weeks. Finally cooled down but we're falling apart, misshapened, lumpy, holey. Kept trying to shape them up. Planted a tomato. Fried the first day in the sun and heat. What were specifics on type of irrigation system you use? I need one or need to give up. Bales just aren't holding moisture in.

I'm interested in your arch. What size fencing did you use? How many feet of it did you use. Do any plants actually reach the top of the arch? And finally, how many bales lengths did you use? Thanks.

can you tell me when using the 511 fertilizer how much do you use to 5 gallons of water?

Are you talking about the Alaskan fish emulsion? If so mix at three times the amount recommended per gallon and apply at a rate of one gallon of triple strength mix to each bale every other day starting with day one and ending with day 11. Water the bales on the in between days from day 2 thorough day 12 at a rate of one gallon per bale. Your bales should start to heat up in 7 to 12 days and be ready to condition with in three weeks. At the end of the 12 days add a balanced fertilizer to your bales and continue to water at one gallon per day until the bales temp peaks and then drops back to 100 or less. You may start to see mushrooms sprouting on your bales after 14 to 20 days. The appearance of mushrooms is a sure sign that your bales are ready to receive your seeds and plants.

Does this type of garden attract a lot of mice? Snakes?

The intro music is too noisy. I'm trying to watch your video while other people are trying to watch tv and sleep. I had to turn off your video to maintain peace in my house
