In the past four years, we have had a straw bale garden. I highly recommend that process. Like a giant science project. This year my hubby is making me a raised bed garden. I'll attach a few photos. Our raised bed won't be as deluxe as the photo, but at my age, it'll be nice to have it at a higher level. I just found this site and really enjoy hearing the stories. The best thing about the straw bale garden & the raised beds....makes my bunnies very mad! I have very naughty bunnies over here.

@bjs06, Welcome to the garden! I remember when some of my friends were talking about haybale gardening. I don't remember if they ever tried it, though. I think they were planning to use a bale on the ground - nothing like these photos. These are quite interesting. Thank you for sharing the pictures as well as introducing us to the straw bale gardening. I am going to share these pictures with my daughter-in-law!
What do you plan to raise in your garden? Is your husband interested in gardening, or is he satisfied to be the raised garden builder?

@bjs06 Oh, my!! How interesting, and exciting! I see you have done few posts here on Mayo connect, so welcome to you! This is just right up my alley, that picture of the raised bed garden with fencing and a bench, then your bale garden. I am such a newbie to this, and this idea never crossed my mind! So much to learn. Gotta love all these ideas and help!
@sueinmn I showed the post from @bjs06 to my husband. "Well, we can do that. Either one" Now to find the hours in the day. Fire season starts in a few days and we are scrambling to get growth semi-tamed in time. Yesterday we took 3 cubic yards of chopped blackberries and roots to the transfer station, whoo-hoo! I will be heading out to pull more weeds, shortly.
