Okay! I'm picking up hay bales today. Can't find straw, so hay will have to do. I'm nervous, as this is so foreign to any way I've ever gardened. I figure the worst that will happen is I will add organic matter to some pretty bad (BUILDER's) soil.
I've printed out all kinds of advice on how to prepare the bales, so I think I'm good on that score. What about planting potatoes in the bales, or do they NEED soil to form potatoes? I'm thinking some squash (it will likely be November at least before any hint of frost here, if it frosts at all) and peas and a brassica or two. Any last-minute (well, I have at least ten days before thinking of planting) advice? warnings? laughter?
Thanks!
