Improvise, Adapt and Overcome...

So, for this year I had to scrap the straw bale idea because there are no straw bales within 200 miles of me!

But, never fear. I have a back up plan: Totes filled with peat moss, grass clipping, sticks, alfalfa cubes, soil and chicken poo!

Interestingly enough, this system balances out to be right around the same cost as the straw bales.

I bought a 55 gallon garbage can and filled it with snow, to start my water reservoir. Once the totes are assembled, I'll pile remaining snow on top of them to ready the grow medium for the coming seedlings. I'm hoping to have the seedlings in by the first week of May! **crosses fingers**
