One of the most attractive things about growing food in straw bales is the fact that you setup a garden literally anywhere, even if you’ve got limited space. You’ve also got the freedom to design it however you like.
This small garden was created using just 6 straw bales laid out 3 by 3. And while this straw bale garden might be small, the harvest was anything but…
Tucked away in the corner of the yard. No digging required to set this up…
…planted with various veggies, including lettuce, tomatoes, squash, and peppers…
…a good quality compost is added as a growing medium on top of the straw bales to help the young plants become established…
…how healthy do these plants look…
…and after just a few short months…
…the beginnings of a delicious squash growing in a straw bale…
…a “small” harvest from the tomato plants (without a single blemish on them)…
…just some of the home grown organic harvest from the garden…
…before and after…
If you thought this was cool, share it and inspire someone you know to get growing…
