Someone asked me recently about straw bale gardening. Personally I don't do it - I have enough beds as it is. And I can more efficiently use the space in my beds than I could with a straw bale.

But for those that are interested... the local weekly ag show had a nice segment on making straw bale gardens. And you can find the instructions here!

Basically, you use a straw bale to create a self-contained compost unit-turned-garden. The key is to do the prep work (what garden doesn't need prep work?) and then plant something lends itself to container gardening, like tomatoes or peppers.
Happy alternative gardening!
