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


What do you have in mind when you use the term 'straw bale gardening'?

I've grown spuds in a bed with straw bales around them and infilled iwth
dirt. I've cut a hole in a strawbale and put soil in and grown things in
it. I've used slabs of straw bales as a base for no-dig. I use lots of
straw bales in my garden and have no idea what on earth you mean by your
question.


I was looking for people like you who have actually done it.

Have you tried tomatoes, onions, squash, or melons?
