Straw bales - NY

I didn't hear about it until last August. The NY Times heard of it  way back a year ago, and I didn't even know they were interested in gardening.

Straw bale gardening was national news a year ago apparently.  It's used where there is no soil, like in the city surrounded by blacktop and concrete.  It's used where the soil is no good, even polluted. Check the stories of people who became a little fanatical.

To quote, "straw is a hot commodity in Manhattan."
