I store it off the ground by the comfrey beds maybe that’s why they leave it alone. They ate the comfrey once then left it alone. I didn’t figure the deer into the plan, thanks for the thought. They bed down by a pine tree not 20 feet away. I’ve got enough welded wire laying around if they bother the bales I’ll rig up some kinda security.
The bales are a little frozen now but by the end of the week I should be able to move them into place. Charging the bales takes about 10-15 days so we’ll see how tempting they are. Got time to watch.
On edit: for growing in bales never use hay, straw only. Hay is not a good medium for this type of cultivation. Hay has seeds which could overtake the plants you want to grow. Straw on the other hand has little seeds in it. Wheat straw is grown for the seeds most are gone, plus the straw has a tubular shape allowing the water to enter, hydrate and drain. The orientation of the bale is critical.
It’s very interesting I’ll post a YouTube video about the technique.
