I never got involved in gardening and it is something I hope to start doing as i get older. I tried to make a small garden at one of my past houses, but with the exception of the pumpkins (which grew at an incredible pace) I didn't experience much luck. The bales of hay seem to be a bit of a "game changer"
Once most people try it, they never go back to traditional gardening. It really is a game changer for many people.
