Straw Bale Gardens Complete (Updated Edition)

by Joel Karsten Author

This exciting new version of Straw Bale Gardens Complete teaches half a million people how to grow vegetables in straw bales. It includes new material on setting up a six-week greenhouse for under $100, allowing seed starting on bale benches.

Straw Bale Gardening is perfect for urban, rooftop, and balcony gardens, eliminating contaminated soil and weed problems. It requires 75% less labor, has raised height for easier planting, extends the growing season, prevents disease and insect issues, is portable, holds water well but is difficult to overwater, creates excellent compost, and can be grown 100% organically.

The author explains how to build his six-week greenhouse and set seed trays on straw bale benches inside, using the heat generated during decomposition as the sole heat source.
