In late June we did an article on Straw Bale Gardening. We published it on Hometalk and it generated a lot of comments and quite a bit of skepticism. I have to confess this is NOT my garden but it is a close neighbor of mine so I have been watching the progress all Summer. I was on a walk today and stopped by to check on the progress. My neighbor has done quite a bit more planting since I took the original pictures but you get the idea. For more go to: http://livedan330.com/2013/08/08/201388following-up-on-straw-bale-gardening/ and don't forget to follow us on Hometalk. What do you think? Is this method of Gardening worth it?
Enjoyed the project?

Have a question about this project?
I really want to try this method of gardening! We have a lot of COPPERHEAD SNAKES in my area! My question is how do you keep snakes from getting in & under the bales? I had been using logs around my garden, then I found a copperhead under 1 of the logs!! I don’t have any logs around my garden anymore!!!
