Weed-Free Bale Gardens and Mushrooms

Short growing season? Not enough space? Sore back and knees? Grow crops in containers for a longer season, to fit in more crops, and bend less. If you want to up your game at container growing, or if you're new to gardening and need an inspiring primer, join us on April 14th for a live online class.

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!)
