Medium, insulation, building blocks, free compost for next season, and bio heaters all in one.

You could make the bale box greenhouse larger as you go, with one or 2 bales always cooking to keep it extra warm. Different varieties of plants have different starting dates anyway. So if you time it right your always adding a bale and planting a bale.

Then pop them up into rows when they are ready.



I could technically have my 4 cannabis babies out in a bale box right now (not planted yet but just to stay warm for free for 2 weeks) if I supplemented with a light. it takes 2 weeks to condition the bales so I better get started soon!

Have grown in straw bales...prefer keyhole gardens, though.

$10.00 for a certified weed free 50 lb bale at my local farm and ranch supply. 6-7 from a local farm. Gonna ask if they have any "crappy wet bales" and load my truck for a few bucks..

Straw (not hay) is at a premium here. Not many farmers grow it anymore in my neck of the woods. When they do they're huge bales. Small bales are almost extinct.

The shift to large bales is in full force. Large round or large block bales. Watched a demo on one of the big block balers, crazy machine.

If you get old nappy bales, you will run into problems with molds.

How did your bales work out - what kind of fertilizing and watering?
