June Project - Straw Bale Garden

Straw Bale gardening - don't know what it is? Well before the June Show Tracy Becker announced that she was going to start a new project.

What is a straw bale garden, well first it's using straw bales (tiny blocks of hay) as planters for various herbs and vegetables.

Benefits of straw bale gardening include no weeding, compostable straw at the end of growing season that will turn into compost for next year's harvest.

Check out this great article from Modern Farmer for more information: http://modernfarmer.com/2013/07/straw-bale-gardening/
