Straw Bale Gardening
“Straw Bale Gardening is simply a different type of
container gardening. The main difference is that the container is the
straw bale itself and is held together with two or three strings.”
“Once
the straw inside the bale begins to decay the straw becomes ‘conditioned’ compost that creates an extraordinary plant rooting
environment. Getting the straw bales conditioned is an essential part
of the process, and should be started two weeks prior to your target
planting date wherever you are located.”
“This gardening technique works
well anywhere in the country or the world for that matter.” Read more: here and here.
