Does anyone who does a straw bale garden ever add a little lime to their bales?

Never have. But that does not mean it will not work. Experimenting is fun.
Just googled it and some people are adding 1 lb per bale and forking it in.

We didn't this year and had a little bloom end rot on the tomatoes when it got super hot and dry.
We upped our watering schedule and the rest have been fine.
Extra calcium is supposed to help so I imagine lime would be ok too.

I'll be looking this up, but are we talking about the Ruth Stout No-Till method? I'll be very interested in y'alls results and experiences.
Wow, learned a new trick and technique! Looked it up very interesting and practical concept. I have already thought up a couple of neat ideas to throw in the mix.
