Is straw-bale gardening really an easier way to do gardening?

It's easier because it is independent of climate, terrain, soil etc. So if any of these is getting in the way of your gardening at home, it may be a good option to consider. It also pretty much takes care of all your weed problems.

I used to live in an area with clay soil. Trying to plant anything required a jackhammer, so I used raised beds wherever I could. Straw bale gardening sounds like it has the same advantages.

there are methods on how to make a straw/ hay bale garden on the net. do check out the prices per bale....and go from there.

I have black clay in my area. I used raised bed and made soil to plant in on top of clay. I mixed 4 cu. ft. peat moss, 4 cu ft vermiculite and 5 different types of natural compost no chemicals. I have had wonderful results.
