Irrigation is a common subject especially in dry or desert climates, and without it, gardening using any method is not very productive. I'd argue that the water holding capacity of a bale of straw constitutes a huge advantage when gardening in dry climates. An irrigation system is still required. A soaker hose will work okay, but a drip irrigation system allows more precision and accuracy to allow different crops to receive the appropriate moisture they require, without waste.

Great video from MIDWEST GARDENER on YouTube showing his amazing success with sweet potatoes in his Straw Bale Garden!  I love sweet potatoes, and look forward to harvesting mine very soon.

I must confess that this is the first time I've ever seen someone use their Straw Bale Garden as a metaphor to sell their own unrelated business consulting services involving improvement of productivity.  Debra does a great job, and this video was rather interesting take on her own experiences with the STRAW BALE GARDENS® method.

Holy smokes this is so cool. Well done video. Love the creativity.

Great stuff right here. Check out her video!  Love this.

Hip silver? Never heard of them until now. Here is what their website says, "We are the “hip” generation that has turned silver. We are the “HipSilvers”. Only in the last three years, when the “boomers” began turning 60, did anyone pay attention to the third phase of our existence. In fact, the media doesn’t even know what to call us….

If you are a "HipSilver" this might be your cup of tea! Regardless, they are promoting Straw Bale Gardening so I'm a fan, even though I'm not exactly "Hip" I am getting to be mostly Silver.

Awesome video! I'm worried she will put me out of business. She did a great job and set up a "text book" garden.  I think she has a copy of "Straw Bale Gardens Complete" laying around. I'd bet on it as a matter of fact!

I wish I had kept a list of every question I've ever been asked about Straw Bale Gardening since day one.  Most every question I get is a question I've already answered a hundred or a thousand times, but every once in a while I get a new question, and I LOVE that. Ask me one that I've never been asked,. Go to the forum at StrawBaleGardenClub.com and I promise I'll answer quickly. 

Super easy Straw Bale Squeezy! Or hay bales are fine too.

This is a great tour of a Straw Bale Garden, with two awesome gardeners who know their stuff. I laughed out loud when I saw all of the political signs he used to help build his garden beds. I loved this video. He isn't trying to impress anyone, but the garden is really spectacular. Take a minute and check it out!  He is a hoot.

So nice to have Straw Bale Gardening featured on the SavvyGardening.com website/blog. Arguably the leading gardening blog, with great articles, helpful information and a fantastic vibe. If you haven't checked out their website, please take a look, it is one that you should NOT miss. 

This is a must watch!  A newbie, but very skilled at building things and innovating.  I loved watching this.  I think you'll enjoy it as well.

I'm not above self promotion. Get your order in soon, we have a limited number of BaleBuster's left for this spring, and supplies are scarce with the Covid crap. 

Joey and Holly Baird have become good friends over the years. They do a terrific job on their radio show teaching people about vegetable gardening. I love being on their show. Check it out.

This article will never die!  That's me in the red shirt and shorts in my back yard. I was 30 pounds lighter then...wow time flies.  This #quarantine15 I've gained is making me think about starting a diet for May.  I may or may not actually do it!
