South of the equator me :) ..I’ve just moved to a yard that faces North and am totally doing this in early spring! Love it ~ please do keep us updated!
Ted, I watched this clip with serious interest. I am encouraged to give it another try. My first attempt at straw bale gardening ended in a disaster. It rained on all 40 newly delivered bales. They started falling apart, and I couldn't move them around to position them where I wanted. So, I had a neighbor pile them up in a corner. Fear of snakes there has kept me away. But perhaps, now I have nice compost ready. This year, I will be less ambitious, and will start with only 20 bales (they are smaller than those in your video) and stretch chicken wire around them to keep the bales from falling apart. I will be eagerly waiting for your update to see what you plant and how things turn out for you. Thank you.
I LOVE this video, well done Ted! Thanks very much for promoting the Straw Bale Gardens method. Two things, if you would ever have any interest in becoming one of our Certified Straw Bale Garden Instructors (it is a free program) we would love to have you join the program. You get paid to give talks about it, we provide all the resources you need. Second, i'd love to send you a little gift box as a thank you for promoting SBG. It is just a couple signed books and a box of our BaleBuster20 you could use down the road. It has a three year shelf life so no worries if you don't use it right away. Reach out here or on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter and I will get the box out to you right away. Thanks again, this video is excellent.
Great info! I'm planting sweet potatoes in bales this year, my first attempt. Thank you for sharing this! By the way, good looking Walker Hound!! Also, you mentioned leafy greens. Sweet potato greens are a highly nutritious green, and taste great! Actually considered a Super Food. Good luck this year!
Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, and calmed the storm, among many other things. He was killed on the cross as payment for the sins of all mankind, three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus/God. Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came in the flesh to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name! He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. - John 3:36 ...the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God - Romans 3:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Romans 6:23 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. - John 3:16-18 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. - Zephaniah 1:14 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. - Luke 9:56 the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. - Galatians 5:22-23 Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
I always thought we had to put the soil inside the one bail for it to be staw bail gardening. It is good to learn from other's experiments.

Definitely keep us updated on this.
I never knew this was even a thing.
Very cool
I know it's kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream new tv shows online?

I’ve wanted to try this for a few years. Thanks for sharing
This is great, Ted! I knew about your straw bale gardening, and have been curious about it. This was extremely helpful!!!

Very very informative. Thank you
I’m going to try this year
Good video, was wondering if there are a few updates?
Great video. Thank you.
I hear it takes more frequent watering and wondered what that would mean in central TX.
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks for the info
Nice!
