    I sure this has been asked many times before...
    But please have mercy on me

    1] Can you prepare your bales organically using:
    A. Steer Manure
    B. Blood Meal
    C. Fish Emulsion
    D. Alfalfa Tea

    2] If your bales sit in the garden for 6 to 8 weeks prior to planting, do you still have to cook or cure them?

    3] Is there a guide for the number of plants per bale?
    I.E. 2 tomatoes per bale... 3...4...1?
    What about cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli?

    Thank you in advance for your help
    Cheers
