A little chilli update

Straw bale gardening works but on hot days the bales lose a lot of water through evaporation. It's quite popular in America, even in very hot areas, but they use drip irrigation or soaker hoses. We're only doing it because the straw bales were free from a local stables and I wanted to plant less in pots to try to conserve our homemade compost because commerical compost was sold out everywhere. You also need to apply a lot of fertiliser to the bales in order to prepare them for planting and organic fertiliser doesn't work as well as synthetic.

Think I will buy some Lemon Dream seeds for next year too.
