~SUSTAINABLE LIVING FOR CHALLENGING TIMES

>I will experiment with just one bale of straw perhaps for planting carrots. I have a special place on my postage-sized piece of property for this bale.

I wish that I had already bought the straw, as the Boston had some heavy rain for the last day and it will continue into tomorrow. It would have given me a chance to "prime" the straw for growing.

Straw bale gardening will be another experiment toward my ultimate Peak Oil garden.

As for Peak Oil, I think we have five more years to prime our properties for good growing areas.

Two of my neighbors will be cutting back or clearing trees for this same purpose.

Thanks for the the post; I hope to see you here more, as our private messages have enormously helped me over the years.

Good luck with your Father's straw bale experiment!
