Straw Bale Gardening with Dodge County Certified Master Gardener Carol Shirk

Straw bale gardening is simply container gardening using straw bales as the container, with a twist.  The bale has to be “conditioned” before planting can begin and has to be maintained properly for a productive harvest. 

This method is ideal for people with small spaces, poor soil, and a sense of adventure.  Join Master Gardener Carol Shirk to learn the procedure to follow for a successful straw bale garden.  Carol has been a Master Gardener for over 28 years and has been gardening for more than 60 years.
