Anyone here into straw bale gardening?
Like to read opinions on it before I try it.

Of all the approaches I seen to straw bale gardening,
Len's is the most different as he has one large bed
rather than north-south rows to optimize direct sunlight
for each row. But then he's in Queensland which gets
more direct sunlight than is available on the cold side
of the frost line.

We do share some equal problems though. He has roos and
rabbits while I have deer and rabbits.

There's a lot of material on the Internet about straw
bale gardening. But I'd really like to hear from people
who have done it
