Here’s Why You Should Really Be Adding Straw Bales to Your Garden
There’s nothing more delightful than growing vegetables in your own backyard, but not everyone has the right soil for doing so. Turns out, there’s an even better medium to build a garden on: straw bales.

I don’t recall writing for this article, nor being interviewed, but it must have happened. I just stumbled across this article when another website i was looking at offered a link to it. I am always amazed at how popular the STRAW BALE GARDENS® mehtod has become.

Thanks so much, Joel…
Our straw bale garden has been a tremendous success here at 8400 ft. We’ve been eating chard, tomatos, lettuce, squash, cukes etc…
I’ve recommend your book to a half dozen people who will be trying it out next season. Oh yeah – eggplant is also rocking! Thanks for all your advice & help. Best regards, Pete
Last Spring I put straw throughout my garden as one layer using lasagna method. I think it was a big mistake! Now I have lots of foilage but little to no fruit….I’m very sad and disappointed.
Now my question is, since the straw is already there, how might I turn this garden around? Can I recondition the straw, add compost then plant?
I’d appreciate your much needed advice.
Here’s to gardening success…
