I could run tee tape down a long line of STRAW bales and have the water coming on 5 times a day

Yes they are using inline drip on those bales in the picture.

Straw will lock up a lot of nitrogen, so I will have to keep the feeding up.

The bales would then make excellent compost or mulch.

I recon I could get quite a few crops out of a bale before replacing it.

They would be great for zucchini and squash,, less bending for picking.

I am in love with this idea,,, just got to get the money to buy bales.

you should be able to get them for $5 a Bale...

once you do the "CONDITIONING" of the bales they'll start releasing their own Nitrogen .... heaps of it.. as per youtube video..
