I am going to try straw bale gardening next season, along with my regular beds, and do a comparison study of the two. I love reading about others who have tried it, so thanks for all the good advice. I'll check back to see how your next experiment goes, too! Mary Annhttp://www.calamityacres.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
