    Adequate bu very basic introduction to SBG
  

*by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2020*

I purchased this short primer to help me get started with straw bale gardening. It covers everything you need to know, but does not go into detail. Also, at least one part was confusing for a newbie: the amounts of nitrogen you use are different for regular versus organic compost (you need to use more of the latter).  Although it was mentioned (sort of) I had to get new bales and start over because these instructions for "conditioning" the bales were not written very clearly.  But it got me on my way and the plants have been in my bales for nearly two weeks. Looking good so far!If you want a more comprehensive treatment, the same author has a newer, full-length book with more detail, and other authors have written on the subject as well. Personally I'd like to find an online discussion board where I can ask questions of more experienced straw bale gardeners.

My wife gave a friend a book to read about straw bale gardening.  So I decided to look on Amazon for the related subject.  To my surprise, Amazon had a good selection of books to choose from.  I decided  on this book due to the fact that it had a reduced price if your are an Amazon Prime member!  Better yet, it is available as a digital download through the Kindle app.  After reading the book, it gave me the basic information that I was looking for in how to do straw bale gardening.  The book is very informative as I am new too this type of gardening.  I highly recommend this book as a basis for starting a straw bale garden.

    Something new to try
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2014*

As I get older, bending and crawling in my garden gets more difficult. I saw this last year in a garden store, decided this spring to get the book and read up on the method.  I have the straw bales in place, and am ready to begin.  Guess I would need to come back at the end of the season to say how it worked.  I am starting with two rows of tomato plants.  I have been adding raised beds to my garden gradually so I can work sitting down or with less bending or squatting to help my back. If the straw bale gardening works, I will probably abandon the raised beds and convert.  As I live on a farm, all I need to do it order how many I want and sons, husband, or grandsons deliver them to me!  This is exciting to begin!
