Come around to my place + learn the simple yet extremely efficient ways of straw bale gardening!
Straw bale gardening is an easy no-dig, inexpensive, ornamental yet highly productive way to garden + can yield higher germination rates, larger quantities + bulkier sized produce due to the fantastic drainage bales provide.
Aswell as being cost-effective, easy + ornamental, growing with straw bales promotes weed control + extends the window of growing opportunity in our cooler climate during winter as they generate their own heat...they're basically a whole 'nother thriving environment to the rest of the garden full of happy microbes doing their thing!
Straw bales will not only elevate the visuals of your space, but also elevate accessibility by producing flowers, greenery, produce, aroma + textures over a foot higher than ground level if not propped on anything.
This gives the opportunity for so many more people to enjoy + thrive in garden spaces!
