How did you condition the bales.Also what are the black posts beyond the wooden support posts? They look almost like black strapping in your photos. Photos of the plastic threaded between the wire would be helpful. Thanks

Won't the straw mold as well as attract mice or other rodents for nesting?

Would be nice if all the instructions were posted here.... Might be worth trying, but not worth worth it with having to hunt down his blog/instagram/whatever to find them.

  I'm sorry Susan, my web guy said that it will take him a few minutes to get it right. So he said just share the website URL and she could just see all of the posts. So again I'm sorry you have to leave the Hometalk page if you want to see all the posts and information about my straw-bale garden adventures. Here is the link to the journal in my website where the posts are. Thanks for being understanding. https://autumnaire.com/journal-2/
  The first three Straw-bale garden posts are on page 2 of my journal and the final post is on the bottom of page 1. Once you click on the posts you have to scroll down for the post to start appearing. All I can say is he's working on it still! Thanks again!
