Andrew and I have never gardened before. Like ever. But this year, we had a great opportunity that we just couldn’t pass up. So hopefully our black thumbs will turn green this summer and we can grow all sorts of vegetables! We are using a method I haven’t heard of before called straw bale gardening. We have been basing most of our knowledge on the book “Straw Bale Gardens Complete” by Joel Karsten.
