Straw Bales for Gardening- Prepare them for Winter

This shows how I prepare straw bales for the winter when I know I will be planting organic vegetables right into the straw bales the following spring. I add human urine: I pee in a gallon jug inside my home, then I bring it out a couple times a week to pour it on the straw bales. The urine adds nitrogen and wetness to the straw, which is otherwise mostly carbon and dry.
