The Learning Garden presents: Straw Bale Gardening

Program: Straw Bale Gardening

Presenter: Diane Mooney, Extension Master GardenerSM volunteers

Program Description: Do you have poor soil or very limited garden space?

Straw Bale Gardening is a revolutionary growing method that uses conditioned straw bales as both the container and growing medium for your plants. There is no digging, no tilling and it reduces soil-borne diseases.

Diane Mooney, an Extension Master Gardener volunteer, has grown vegetables in straw bales in her home garden. She will explain the process of conditioning the straw bales and successfully growing vegetables using this methodology.

We will start with a brief presentation indoors and then go outside to TLG Vegetable Garden where Diane will demonstrate how to plant vegetables in a conditioned straw bale.

Please dress appropriately for the weather.

The talk is free, but seating is limited and registration using Eventbrite is required.

This is an in-person program, held at The Learning Garden
