this fits here ,and on trash to treasure . I don't have much sun to plant toms , so with this arbor , given to me and no legs on one side , I stuck the short side in pvc pipe to make it uniform . Here's where straw bales come in . I used rotted straw to line two plastic milk cartons . then filled in with compost . used more straw (hay) to top it off, and packed it in tight . Planted Beef steak in them and have jalapenos in front for border .

Who says you can't plant your veggie garden with your flowers ? Just look how healthy my homemade bales have made my toms . Thank you again Kent . digger
