hi-we live a hot and dry climate - once the bales have been seasoned and planted-
Any thoughts on the best watering system for straw bales? Lazer drilled hoses versus the black spongy soaker hose? We have well water. I wondered if others have had problems with the lazer drilled hoses clogging?

I started seasoning my bales- Day 1-3 lots of water. Days 4-5 blood meal watered in. Today is day 6. I can't feel any heat in the bales. How long does it usually take until I can feel the heat ?
