Strawbale Gardening - for Squash

Every year we try something different...this year we had strawbales around our greenhouse.  We have framed in our green house 'properly' this year and decided to use the strawbales to create our squash beds. 

We used six straw bales per bed - 2 on each side and one at each top.  Then we layered with newspaper, then 'leafs' of straw with the file layer of compost.  Squash are heavy feeders so they will be pleased.  Another few weeks and we can put in the squash plants.  I'll post some more pictures then. 




Happy gardening!
