Straw Bale Garden Success: 45 Bales of Vegetables and Herbs

A gardener planted a 45-bale straw bale garden in early April under plastic sheeting, growing tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, lima beans, butter peas, green beans, English peas, parsley, thyme, basil, rosemary, dill, marigolds, and impatiens. By June, the garden looked fantastic. Straw bale gardening is an excellent method for poor soils or limited space.
