What fertilizers did you use? I am at the point that I need to start adding some and haven't yet made up my mind what they really need. Will the disintegrating bales add enough nitrogen that I should mainly concentrate on Potassium and Phosphorus? |
I started out by prepping the bales through the winter every couple of weeks with 13-13-13 fertilizer. The straw has no nutritional value until it starts decomposition. The prepping starts the process. They are ready to plant in the spring.
We are really off track for this thread which is supposed to be about single stem tomatoes. PM me and I will gladly discuss straw bale growing.
