							| They have had a double layer of plastic but as you can see its very ratty.  And a white sheet on top of the plastic most nights.  I try to give six hours of darkness then there is a small grow light 100 watts or less I think.  I dont know exactly.  But the bale itself is probably a comfortable 70 degrees in the middle.  Not hot any more, but not cold either.  So far its working.  Although... the height has dropped by a full foot since I placed it there in December.  I sort of anticipated this, but if it sinks any farther the roots won't line up with the surrounding soil anymore.  But thats ok.  Because a foot of good clean dirt could be used to cover the sunken area.  I have not leveled the patch yet but will soon.  And then... only you guys will know its a 'buried hay bale patch'.  It will look normal. |  |  |
