I did the research and decided on making a hay bale garden instead of building a raised bed garden or do a container garden here at the warehouse.
Zach's family gave us 6 bales to start with!! Yay, for awesome familia!!
We are using organic bone meal to speed up the breaking down of the bales which is the first step to creating a hay bale garden.
We'll be ready to plant the seedlings and sow the seeds this weekend!
Mike will accompany us every step of the way! He loves his new job guarding the warehouse and fenced in lot. He's an official lot dog. You can see our little composting sections behind and to the right of the bales. We started those when we first moved in, it's great they had a head start on the garden. It isn't suggested anywhere but, we are going to experiment by having squash and other creepy crawler vegetables grow out of the side of the bales, especially the ends! We'll see how it goes. We are pretty excited about the whole garden.
Here's what we are planting:
Tomatoes
Hot Peppers
Chinese Broccoli
Chinese Celery
Celery
Arugula/Mizuna/Red Mustard/Curly Endive
Collards
Squash
Lettuces
Rape
Swiss Chard
Cherry Tomatoes
Behind the bale garden on the chain link fence we plan on having beans run amock!!! We have our fingers crossed that they'll provide a nice privacy fence for us this summer. We are going to grow these in containers.
