Raised Garden Bed
Greetings Everyone! I’ve made a small raised garden bed for my blueberry bush

Nice!
Insulation
Filled the pallets with straw for insulation. Not much to say here, just posting to show everybody. It’s part of the process. Goes in pretty easy, put the straw in the top and shove it down with a stick. Couple of times the pallet boards popped open, but was pretty easy to reattach. I got the straw on Facebook marketplace, because it was half the price I would pay at tractor supply. But it’s completely filled with goat heads, very prickly, painful seed pods, I hope I don’t get a weed infestation from this. One bale of straw filled about 3 pallets, and only ended up needing 3 bales to fill the 11 pallets.

My understanding of insulating materials, (e.g., straw), is that they are light and fluffy so there are air pockets between the actual material (straw) to trap heat. Cob (mixture of clay, an aggregate like sand, and something for tensile strength like straw) would not be an insulating material, because there are no air pockets to trap heat.
