Whatever your gardening challenge, Straw Bale Gardens Complete holds the solution.

Have a small or unusual space? The technique is perfect for urban, rooftop and balcony gardens. Contaminated soil? Planting in straw bales eliminates the problem. Are you inundated by weeds?

  • Tips and ideas for making your straw bale garden more attractive
  • How to make a cold frame with straw bales
