Straw Bale Gardens Helps Grow Gardens

I have received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

It is officially Spring people and time to get to planting. If you are like me and could use some help, I ran across a book that can help you with it. There is a way to actually have a greenhouse for less than $100. I could not believe it, but apparently it is a such thing and Straw Bale Gardens can help.

It is time for me to go ahead and branch out and explore our backyard more and get to planting. I honestly never thought that I can plant using straw bales. They are less than $10 each for a straw bale, so really compaired to the price and time to dig in your backyard, it seems it would be more cost effective to go the straw bale route.

About Straw Bale Gardens

Rooftops, patios, backyards with bad soil or anyplace with room for a straw bale can be transformed into a garden using the technique pioneered by Joel Karsten and detailed in his book, Straw Bale Gardens Complete.

“The method allows anyone — from new, first-time gardeners, to seniors who can’t do the hard physical work of gardening — to still garden very successfully because of the raised height and less maintenance and weeding required,” Karsten explained. “This method works in any climate and for nearly every vegetable crop, and doesn’t require any soil at all, so it can be done on concrete, asphalt or even on a rooftop.”
