I posted this on the Strawbale Gardening forum, but still have an unanswered question someone here might be able to help with.

It occurred to me Friday while putting in a new raised bed that some old bales of hay at the horse pen would finish the bed nicely. So I got four bales (110 lb alfalfa/grass mix) and "installed" them. I started the 11 day program Sunday, today is the third day of watering them, tomorrow the day to start adding fertilizer.

I have mucho 5-3-0 organic fertilizer. 7 cups of it would provide equivalent N to 1 cup of 34-0-0, but would all that phosphate in the 5-3-0 have a lingering adverse effect?

Thanks,

Frank

This year's strawbale garden, next year's compost?
