Hello. I am often asked “where can I buy strawbales”? Its easier than you might think. Obviously local farms are a good starting point. Then farm shops and pet shops. A quick Google on “local strawbale suppliers” often works. I am building a database of suppliers, so if you find your local source, please let me know. Its been difficult this year to get bales delivered and so on. I had some trials I wanted to start, but they must wait until next year now. When my son can come over to me we intend to erect another polytunnel which will be half filled with strawbales throughout the winter months. I intend to do some strawbale webinars from September onwards. Again if you are interested then please contact me. The “grow your own” movement seems to be going from strength to strength which is great to see, but there are still so many people who really could give it a grow but perhaps think its easier to just buy from a super market. The busy lifestyles of many preclude any time for some families, but when we get back to what will be a new normal, peoples perception of what is important might and should change. Parents need to arm young people with the ability to feed themselves once more.
My strawbale growing kits have proved very popular. My own grandchildren were thrilled to receive their parcel and set about sowing the seeds in double quick time. There is still plenty of time to purchase a kit. They make a great gift. I have had some great feedback on our seed range. I am proud to say we did not increase any prices whatsoever. The seed labels, pencil and extra information is proving popular. We will be increasing varieties across the board, to give you more choice. Also you will start to see far more information about each seed on the website , this will include companion planting and recipe suggestions.
I have listed some links below to what I have been discussing. Please get in touch as its good to talk. Sow a seed, grow a world.
Speak soon . Strawbale Simon.
