Any kind of raised bed makes for an easy, convenient garden, but one especially effective technique is straw bale gardening.1 Sometimes known as bale gardening, or hay bale gardening, a straw bale garden uses ordinary farmer's straw as the principal growing medium. When you condition a straw bale for gardening with a small amount of potting soil, compost, and fertilizer, the straw itself breaks down gradually, providing its own nutrients throughout the growing season. | Any kind of raised bed makes for an easy, convenient garden, but one especially effective technique is straw bale gardening.1 Sometimes known as bale gardening, or hay bale gardening, a straw bale garden uses ordinary farmer's straw as the principal growing medium.

I had this broken sledge laying around in the garage and figured it would be a nice extra in my garden if I would make a plant box out of it. For a while, I wanted to have lavender in my garden, so after the plant box was finished I planted lavender. The result is a movable and nice looking plant box. | |||
