RE: Garden Journal, End of June Community Garden Plot Report

Another thing about using straw bales for growing veggies is that you can compost them in the fall after the end of the growing season, and then add that compost to the regular garden the next year. You could also use the compost to fill a raised bed.

Yes, great ideas - I have a terraced patch and the back where I am gradually improving the soil each year. I like the way straw bales break down over time, fulfilling lots of roles on the way.
