Gardeners swap ideas for leftover straw bales

Original: Earlier in the year I ended up getting a straw bale. I've used part of it to cover the vegetable bed through the winter

A gardener who bought a straw bale earlier in the year has used roughly half of it to mulch a vegetable bed over winter, and is asking others for ideas on what to do with the remainder. Suggestions typically range from composting and paths to animal bedding, making it a common seasonal dilemma for home growers.

Why now: It is winter gardening season and mulching with straw is a popular low-cost technique, prompting people to share uses and tips.
