Hay bale gardening is an alternative method for growing vegetables that doesn't require tilling soil or weeding. The method involves placing a bale of hay in the sun, treating it with lime and ammonium sulfate to speed decomposition, and planting vegetables in a soil mixture on top of the bale. Vegetables grow well in this system because the decomposing hay provides nutrients and retains water and moisture. Diseases are less likely to build up from season to season. Common vegetables like tomatoes and peppers can be successfully grown in hay bales, which provide an easy gardening option without the work of tilling soil.Nutrition Activities for Daycare
