Conditioning means kick starting the microbial action. And you know when it’s working because as the microbes start to break down the straw, the temperature inside the bale goes up. We don’t plant in it yet…it might be too warm for our plants. | Conditioning means kick starting the microbial action.

Straw bale gardening involves using decomposing straw bales as a growing medium for plants. The bales are conditioned over a period of time, transforming them into nutrient-rich material that mimics the qualities of fertile soil. This gardening method is particularly appealing to those with poor soil quality, limited space, or physical challenges that make traditional gardening difficult. | |||
