Well I'll be damned.... I never even considered this.  Doh!  Thanks.

Charlie, glad he uses raised beds.

 

g'day rich,

it is a whole lot of work, and work that realy is not needed in this
enlightened age of raised bed gardening, we never dig, too easy.

here is a link to how we did our latest beds:

Greetings Len,  The straw bale garden looks like a great idea to me!
Only problem is the fact that I live in town where we have mostly new
homes in a well manicured neighborhood.  There isn't a doubt in my mind
that the city officials wouldn't allow straw bale gardens here!  Perhaps
if we would bury the bales at ground level no one would notice them but
to do that we would have more work involved than double digging.  If I
lived away from town in the rural area I sure would consider giving it a
try.  Sure does look interesting :)
