The straw bales are falling apart and the roots of our vegetables are getting too much air. We compressed the bales and added soil last weekend. That helped the tomatoes and peppers, but it's too late for the squash and zucchini. There's only one plant left of them and it's not looking too good.
All in all, I would definitely give straw bale gardening another try next year. I just wouldn't start the decomposition process before planting the veggies. Instead, I would cut holes in the bales and use them as planters. I love not having to weed!
Here's a video update/tour.
