Straw bales make an excellent border for your garden. If you mow the grass around your garden the bales will act as a barrier to keep the mower from throwing weeds and their seeds into your fertile soil. They are also an effective barrier against strong wind. The bales will reduce grass and weeds that want to creep in from the edges. When the bales begin to break down you can use them for mulch replacing them with fresh bales.

Very informative entry.
This is kind of irrelevant, but what is your favorite soil conditioning fertilizer? I’ve tried Pro-Gro on my veggie garden, but I don’t like the results. Anyone have suggestions?
