The reception and enthusiasm for straw bale gardening, introduced in 2013, has proved revolutionary in vegetable growing. Why? Because the bold promises in the book are kept: grow vegetables anywhere, earlier in the year, with no weeding. Gardeners everywhere are excited. In just the short amount of time that has passed, the gardening world and Joel Karsten himself have learned even more about how to apply this method in just about any environment: on a city balcony, in a rocky outpost, in a desert, and even in the tundra of Alaska.

Great idea. BUT. Millorganite should not be used for food production It contains high amounts of cadmium and other heavy metals. Itis great as a deer repellent and lawn fertilizer. I just bought 4 straw bales and started the two week process using compost tea then will use fish/seaweed emulsion

Thanks, John. We’ll share your comment with Dr. Friedland. The tea idea is fascinating. Let us know how the garden is doing.
Cheers, Faith
