Anyone dabbling with straw bale gardening? I am new to it, but eager to learn more tricks and tips. The soil where I live is trash and I have had no luck with soil amendments or low raised beds. I have four bales with six tomato plants, one green chile plant, two cantaloupes, one zucchini, and a few bush beans. So far so good.
