Details
Straw bales are less expensive and lighter too. Straw is slow to break down andthey tend to last for two growing seasons.
Conditioning the Bales
To get the nutrients neededfor bacterial growth, we suggest you use blood meal as a nitrogen sourceby poking holes in the top of the bale.
Proper Watering
A common mistake is overwatering. Straw Bales need no more than one gallon of water per day to support plant growth.Laying soaker hose over a straw bale garden is an effective way to deliver water evenly.
Benefits from straw bale gardening
- Plants in the surface of the bale are 18-22” higher than an in-ground bed, and that can make all the difference for some gardeners.
- Don’t have weed problemsand has a reduction in soil-borne diseases
