Straw Bale Gardening
If you thought the only place to grow healthy crops was in black dirt, you must attend this new class. You will learn how to grow a bountiful garden without using herbicides, insecticides, or fungicides, and without weeding. Learn how to plant vegetables, root crops, vine crops, fruit crops, and even beautiful flower gardens, directly into your “conditioned” straw bales. The bales look incredibly beautiful as well as productive! Learn this revolutionary and easy gardening method. Say goodbye to the “heavy lifting” and bending that is required with normal soil-based gardens.
