... I have a set of raised beds, and I am trying out my hand at some straw bale gardening...

I don't know **** about plants, gardening, etc...

I am just winging it, and **** will either grow or die.

So far I have sweet peas, 2 types of tomatoes, cayene peppers, habenero peppers, red peppers, orange peppers, broccoli, zuchini, and pumpkins.

I need to get some seed potatos for the other bale that is empty so far and try to fill it with some sweet red taters!

I ran ~275' of poly pipe with 5 provisions for hose spigots today to get water to the straw bales...

Also installed a T w/ a 1" poly coming off that will feed my fire hydrant

Tell her to give me some tips... I am a rookie, and have no idea what I am doing. Other than stawberries, I have never successfully grown ****! I have planted stuff before, but nothing has ever produced before. Maybe it was the trailer court dirt... :haha:

I hope they work...

I read alot about how you have to "condition" the bales, but I couldn't find the same fertilizer to use as apparently you cant get it anymore due to people using it to make bombs... so I improvised.

i watered the **** out of them for a week, then I fertilized them with 46-0-0 for about 4 days, then watered them for for another week...

I hope they work!
 
MY ol lady has 4 raised garden beds that we built for her. All bordered with 2 feet of gravel. The beds are 6x12 with one at 14x14.

She has a big ol wind mill too.

Then she started helping out over at my moms in the greenhouse and I was informed that I would be building a greenhouse for this season.

Now she has a nice new aluminum framed pro 10x12 greenhouse thats full of stuff. I even got her to take all the house plants out there too. Now I can see out the windows in the house again. I put in all kinds of drippers and misters on a regulated watering system. Then when hand watering is still needed I got an old stainless steel sprayer and hose. Its a commercial dishwasher handle/sprayer that has a soft shower and a nice black rubber hose and its plumbed in also. I hung it from the center of the roof so it will reach all four corners and routed the hose along the structure back to my main splitter/feed. I built nice benches out of ruff cut fir and mill stock reject cedar fence boards for the decking. The all vary just about a 1/16 or less in thickness so it gives it a nice rustic/country touch.

She got a 6 foot tractor tire and cut the inner bead off it and turned it inside out and out it behind the shed and uses it for a compost bin. The black rubber helps generate heat and promote bacteria growth.

Now we are working on a couple of LARGE raised beds for just raspberries.

Just some kind of herbal tobacco plants that have always been deep in the yard. All the neighbor kids keep them pruned up real nice.
