Straw Bale Gardening

Good Shepherd Center Demo Garden
Seattle, WA


Straw bale gardening was developed in Europe as an alternative to the use of chemicals to destroy plant pathogens in greenhouses and in the field. Rather than planting in diseased soil, gardeners plant into a soil mix on top of bales of straw. In an urban garden, this technique works well over hard pan or other poor soil, contaminated soil or excessively weedy areas. Join us for this hands-on class and learn how to construct a bale garden and help install one in the Tilth Learning Garden.

The class will take place in the garden.  Please dress for the weather.  Class meets rain or shine.
