So it's time to plant and you haven't even tilled your garden yet, or maybe don't even have a garden space to till. Straw bales can offer a temporary planting option to see you through the season.
David and Carrie Chew live in a house made of straw. It has two bathrooms, a modern kitchen and a packed earthen floor. The exterior walls are made with stacked wheat straw bales covered in plaster.
