Default Straw Bale Gardening

Now this is something really neat. I have never heard of this or would have ever thought of something like this, but after seeing it and reading about it.

This would be easier on those who love to garden yet have a difficult time bending over. These gardens would also be great in small areas as well.

I think I may give it a try this year just to see how things go, and it looks good, which is a plus in any yard.

If you want to know more about this, check out the link below. You may also find gardening this way to be beneficial around your home as well.

Heres a great picture of a straw garden. This would be perfect for people that cant lift, or bend over.



Plus, gardening this way would definitely give a more rustic appearance to your property.

That is absolutely awesome and would be great for just about anyone. I also think that they are astetically attractive and would continue to be so for most of the season.

Thanks for sharing both of you I will be looking into how I can use this in my yard.

I am going to give this new method of gardening a try at my other halfs place. I think it would look amazing in his yard. Especially since he has nothing in the yard what so ever!!

His curb appeal is currently 0%. However soon that will be changing because I have a ton of ideas and now just need to narrow it down to what I want to do and how far I can get his wallet opened.
