Kent,
I've had daily mushroom growth since the start, as the hay bales were stacked by the garden for a month or more before being laid out in the rows. After piling on a little horse manure, my special mix (green sand, bone meal, bio-char & coffee grounds), and a couple applications of liquid fish emulsion fertilizer, I have some bales that are softening up really well. The temperatures have not gotten over 90 degrees in some, but not in all bales. Most are the air temp to 70 degrees. We got our well working again and the water I'm using is very cold which might be keeping the temps down.
My question: At what point do I know for sure I can safely plant in the bales?
Thanks for your help,
Sundownr
