Straw-Bale Gardening
In this episode we speak with Joel Karsten about straw-bale gardening.
He is the author of Straw Bale Gardens Complete.
We chat about:
- Straw bale gardens as a way to grow in very wet conditions
- Making non-straw bales out of other available organic materials
- Trellising for straw-bale gardens
- Making raised straw-bale gardens
- Growing mushrooms on straw bales (spoiler alert: then you can grow veggies afterwards!)
