Growing a Straw Bale Garden
Part two
In May, Tractor Man and I lugged four bales of hay down our slope and set them up as a garden! At the same time, we constructed a ‘Ranch Gate Garden’, by stringing three old ranch gates together that we found on our place, fencing in the 16′ x16′ garden.
There have been few problems at all, no pests, no disease, no weeding,...so many advantages and for our relatively short growing season, I'm loving this method, more and more.

There is a misconception about hay .Don't bye from the guy haying dirty fields and road side ditches. Buy from a fellow whose income is from Hay, you will be hard pressed to find a weed seed in it , same goes for straw , you can get some of the weediest straw ever , and some with no weeds . just saying
