Straw Bale Gardening
We receive many calls about gardening in challenging locations. Straw bales can be used to grow many crops without soil or containers. We will teach this method from start to finish, detailing how to pre-condition bales before planting. After a season’s use, rotting straw can be used for compost. A much easier, though temporary, alternative to raised beds. Cost: Free, but must register in advance to reserve a seat.
Notes - ~ Sign up early for classes to avoid being turned away because a class is full. All classes have limited seating.
~ MUST register in advance for ALL CLASSES, including the “Free” ones.
~ If there is a fee for the class, it must be paid at the time of registration to hold your seat. Failure to pay at the time of registration could result in your class registration being cancelled.
~ If you need to cancel your registration for a class, you must do so two (2) weeks prior to the class to receive a refund. Please email or call the Fayette County Extension Office to cancel.
~ Plants/seeds distributed at “Free” classes will only be available at the class.
~ Plants/seeds distributed as part of paid classes must be picked up at the Fayette County Extension Office by 3:00pm on Friday of the week the class is held, unless otherwise stated in the description. Any plants/seeds not picked up will be donated, no exceptions! (Plants/seeds are distributed at the end of the class.)
