Straw Bale Garden Start to Finish 

Two things I should’ve covered. 1…You definitely leave the bailing twine/wire on the bale. The wire will be on the side of your straw bale. 2… you probably don’t want to put any perennials, like herbs, in your straw bales because the bales will break down and you will have to rehome your perennials.

This is very inspiring to me. Fifty years ago I put eyed potato pieces under 'flakes' of straw about 6 inches deep. Then walked away. I inspected under the straw every time I watered the whole garden and picked out new potatoes for supper many times. After they finished growing, I took off the straw and gathered the potatoes and had a wonderful harvest. We also gained a lot of worms and enjoyed our experiment so much. That was back in the day when people at the feed store made fun of me for organically gardening and laughed at my methods. I only did it that one time but it was so successful, I saw your video title and immediately knew I was going to learn new things from you today. Now I'm excited to try it. I have only just begun clearing out the disaster that was my garden for about 5 years until last year when I deserted it. So while I'm digging out and planning new things, this will fit right into the plans and I'll go find some straw bales today. THANK YOU for this new garden plan to get excited about. So fun!

I'm intrigued by the straw bale planting. Looking forward to future videos on it.❤

Ty penny, what a fantastic idea. I,m gonna Try mushrooms in my walkway path of My garden. Can't wait. Blessings my friend. Yes, God will water it. Love it.

Do you remove the baling wire/twine or leave it on for planting? I really wanted to do bales of straw this year, but didn't get to. I'd like to do it next year for sure.
