Hay Bale Raised Beds



I make raised beds out of hay bales. They may not look pretty but I find them very useful at making inexpensive beds. The next year you can rotor-till (or double dig) the new mulch along with the raised beds and make a new one. You do not have to worry about the hassles of wood frames getting in the way of your digging.

It's easy. Just lay out the bales of leaves, hay, or anything that's a bale to form a square with an empty middle. For some plants you can even bury some bales under your soil. Lettuce likes bales decomposing underneath.  Add to your square compost, soil, bio char, manure or just about any food for your plants. Now use my super digger and dig a hole for your new seedling. That's it.  This is Larry Zoro writing, happy baling and growing in the Hay Bale Revolution.
