Straw Bale Gardening
Straw Bale Gardening
In-PersonWe receive many calls about gardening in challenging locations. Straw bales can be used to grow many crops without soil or containers. We will teach this method from start to finish, detailing how to pre-condition bales before planting. After a season’s use, rotting straw can be used for compost. A much easier, though temporary, alternative to raised beds. Cost: Free, but must register in advance to reserve a seat.
