Straw Bale Gardening
No Soil Needed to Have The Cleanest Garden Ever!
Straw bail gardening has never been easier to use and this is a trick I learned gardening at my Grandma Gibson's knee. You don't even need to till up your ground for this type of garden. You just place bales bound with string in your garden and plant your seedlings, transplants, potatoes or whatever type of vegetable you want to grow. If you are planting seedlings just rough up the surface and sprinkle your seeds, for larger plants or onions, potatoes, etc you make a hole large enough in the straw to put your plant in. Keep the straw damp until the plants take off and make sure they get at least 6-8 hours of sun.
The plants grow right in the straw for the easiest garden you have ever grown. If you have heavy clay soil this is a garden technique that could really work for you and best yet is that at the end of the year you can actually improve your own garden soil by tilling it in to your soil to improve the texture of your own soil. For best results try watering your straw bale garden by using one of my easy to use garden foods like eggshell water. You'll find the recipe for eggshell water in my blog.
