I have been 'straw bale gardening my vegetables goin' on 5 yrs now and love it ,,,,,,,,,,, I leave enough room between rows to mow and pullin' weeds has never been easier..... I've found my bales for this yr ( finding GOOD straw in my part of the state is tough ( unless, of course, you don't mind payin' 16.00 a bale
! Yikes! I pay about 3.00 for big 4' bales)... I've got some pictures from past gardens
Took some pictures last yr at the 'start' ...... I 'weave' soaker hoses on the bales and use old short pieces to 'bridge' the rows
This is from 2010, didn't like the 's' formation, was forever having to 'circle' around to get to the other side, the pink flagging on top are my 'plant markers' ( married to a forestor, we have LOTS of flagging
)
