Ever thought about trying Straw Bale Gardening?
Come and find out all about this innovative, productive and fun method for
growing vegetables for those with limited space, concerns about the quality of
their soil or simply curious about trying something new.
Straw bale gardening is a method of gardening that allows you to start your
vegetable growing earlier in the season. You can straw bale garden on your
driveway or patio and is perfect if you have limited space. This method is much
less labor intensive than traditional gardening. Because the growing is
elevated off the ground you can grow weed free AND its easier on the body
because there is no bending over or kneeling. It works well for all kinds of
vegetables including root and vining crops, tomatoes, peppers, greens and
flowers.
Randy Latzig will take the class through different set ups of straw bale
gardening. You will learn about conditioning the bale before planting, seed
and plant selection and watering and care of your straw bale garden.
The class is free and open to the public and is brought to you by
Growing West Side and the Riverview Library.
