I thought an experiment was worth trying, so I have 12 wet bales currently being "conditioned" - today I'm going to start adding fish, blood and bone and urine to kickstart the decomposition process.
Yes, I have been weeing into a jug and pouring it into a plastic bottle.
I figure the bales will be ready to plant up in a month or so. I'm going to try squash, a few extra potato tubers from last year's harvest that I didn't eat because they had a touch of green, and maybe a couple of spare tomato plants.
And if it's a complete disaster, I'll still have a load of lovely rotted straw to enrich my soil with next year.
