Terrible garden soil? Or even no soil? No problem. Yes, you can garden! Straw bale gardening uses a bale as the medium in which you plant. You won't have to dig in rocky or hard soil, and it creates cheap, raised beds. At the end of the season, you can compost the bales, so it’s the ultimate in sustainable gardening. It's ideal for vegetable gardens, but you also can grow ornamental flowers. | Terrible garden soil? Or even no soil? No problem. Yes, you can garden!

A bale of straw may seem like little more than Halloween décor to civilian homeowners. But did you know straw bales can be used to grow various kinds of herbs, ornamental plants, and vegetables? Cool, right? Straw bales gardens are soil-free, raised container beds are kinder on your back, plus the best perk is weed-free gardening. | |||
Not everyone’s born with a green thumb, but if you’re longing to nurture your ability to reap what you sew, straw bale gardening is a great way to start. As long as the bales receive six to eight hours of sunlight per day, you can place them virtually anywhere: along the driveway, the back patio, or down near the dock. | |||
