Straw bale garden - fertilizing

Midlothian, VA

I am a beginner. I have done straw bales before (once), but didn't have a ton of success. I prepped my bales properly I believe(felt I accessed good info via the web), but since I have planted I haven't had much success. All plants are alive and "well" but few are much bigger than the day I planted. New growth but just not flourishing. My plants even have blossoms but the plants are SO tiny. I used blood meal for the nitrogen for prepping and now I have garden tone for fertilizing. Im not really sure what to do next. I feel like the bales need a boost but don't know how to do it. I am trying to do things as naturally as possible. Any suggestions?

Highland Heights, KY(Zone 6a)

Hi, and welcome! Sorry I don't know anything about that subject, but we do have a straw bale gardening forum--it's only open to paid subscribers, though. It's well worth the small investment!
