Day 2 of conditioning your straw bales video

<p>Okay, folks, so here we are for day number two. Guess what? If you wake up on day number two, and it's raining, you get the day off, because all your bales needs is a little bit of moisture. We're not trying to drown anything here. We're not trying to feed roots. All we're trying to do is give that bacteria a little bit of moisture.</p> <p>If it's not raining, you're going to need to grab your hose or your watering can. Either one will work just fine. You just want to apply a little bit of water. You need about a gallon per day, or something like that. You can use either technique. Again, if your water's really cold, and it's early spring, you probably want to put some cold water in the bucket yesterday ... let it warm up until today, and then apply that.</p> <p>You don't need a lot, just a gallon or so, and, certainly, you don't need to tote warm water from the house. When I say warm water, what I really mean is cold water in a bucket, use it tomorrow. That's warm water ... so, that's it for day number two. How simple is that? Just a gallon of water ... that's it.</p>
