Gardening in Straw


About six weeks ago, placed a layer of straw across my yard in a way line, edging an area where I had planted flowers.

I placed seed potatoes on it at about 6-10 inch intervals.  Then I covered them with another layer of straw.

About a third of them came up.  I have been adding more straw around them as the stalks get higher.

 


About a week ago, I placed a longer wavy layer of straw across the other side of my yard.  I planted alternating sections with veggies and flowers.



 Some of them are coming up now.  It is so much fun to see all the new growing things.
