[QUOTE="Remington, post: 2390676, member: 845"] We do raised beds using straw bales. We use the bales for a nativity scene at Christmas and then move them to garden and make a large raised bed for the kids in the spring. By the end of the growing season they are realy starting to get soft and need to be replaced, but we leave them through the winter and replace in the spring. It allows for really good draining, almost to good. But our soil is heavy clay and even after 20 years of adding addmendments it's hard to get get good looking root vegetables from the garden, so the straw bales allow us to make great soil that will grow root vegetables really good. We get some big carrots this way. [/QUOTE]
