I haven't noticed anyone saying whether soil should be added on top of the bales after planting. I still have 4 bales that I haven't planted yet, can I start seeds in the bale or do I need to put in transplants, I used Eufalla's tool for starting the holes and filled them with rotted horse manure mixed with topsoil then topped it off with a little more manure. I hate to keep asking what seems like stupid questions but I think I may be hooked on this I actually found out this weekend I could get another 20 or 30 bales if I want them, I'm just not sure where to put them.
