I'm a great-granny and that dang ground just keep getting further away - so, THIS year,I'm trying the straw bale garden. It's a perfect height.

Of course, we still have danger of frost = My bales topped with compost and fish mulch are ‘perking’ and will be planting in a week or so.(I have garlic coming on good from sticking some in the ground in October - but just stuck some in my new bale garden, along with some onions - just to see if they'll get up. Garlic is getting to be worth it's weight in gold, like in Roman days.

Wow, that’s a terrific idea. I am using straw for my potato bags, never really thought to plant into the bales themselves. Thanks for the link!
