A thrifty, versatile way to garden is to create a straw bale garden. It’s inexpensive and you can put it anywhere since no soil is required. I put one in my backyard because I wanted a fun way to create a low maintenance garden while keeping with the garden theme of Harvest. There is no over watering, no weeding (yay), and at the end of the season you can compost the left over bales. How’s that for recycling?! | |||
