I am now some 11 days into the "maturing" process. The StrawBales are starting to heat up and compost ready for planting and sowing. This process must be completed for best results.
Potatoes Love StrawBaleVeg.
In our DVD you can see me opening a StrawBale full of potatoes. It was my first try with them. Pick an unusual verity such as Pink Fur Apple, which are delicious served cold with a salad. The bale MUST be fully "matured". Don't over water. Remember to still "chit" the potatoes before you plant.
StrawBaleVeg Gardening For All.
Due to the height of a StrawBale, it is ideal for people with mobility issues. Also because you can site your bales almost anywhere patio, lawn, drive etc its very wheelchair friendly. StrawBaleVeguk was proud to be mentioned in the March/April edition of enable magazine. In our DVD we show StrawBale systems that are easily acessable from all sides.

One Strawbale Is all You Need.

Strawbaleveg 2017
On Monday 17th April I started off one of my own Strawbaleveg gardens. It has eighteen bales.
Okay so, we will have along the back row of bales. two varieties of runner beans, two varieties of tomato, peas, carrots, two varieties of lettuce and a selection of radishes. Along the four rows, we will grow two varieties of beetroot, two varieties of potato, cabbage and the rest will be onions. But first I need to mature the bales.
