Matt’s Adventures in Northwest Gardening

I bought a straw bale on Saturday at the aforementioned Reber Ranch in Kent. It was a little more than I expected, mainly because they only had one size available for purchase this weekend. It was $8 for the bale, which I paid and added to my costs for the project.

Usually at this place, you take your semi-truck and get a couple hundred bales of hay for your farm or whatever. I drove my little pickup and handed over my ticket for the one bale, which was promptly loaded on the back of my truck, and away we went.

The bale weighs 90 pounds. I have no idea if this will be a sufficient amount of straw for my project, but we’ll find out. Below is a picture of the bale in my truck on the way home. We left a pretty neat trail of little straw pieces from Kent to our house, I think.
