Straw Bale Gardening

If I was going to plant toms or beans, I'd do them in a bed with bales around like Len did but in a smaller bed than he used. The spuds did well in the bed we put bales around. I always rot my bales for a while before doing anything with them unlike Len did. I buy bales and drop them on the ground and then turn them when I think of it so the soil microbes can start work on them. It appears to me that Len uses the straw bales for both the base and the edge of a garden plot. No, he just uses them round the edges. The base is lawn. He may not even use them anymore - those pics on his site are now quite old. |
