Is anybody out there into hay bale gardening?

Question

If you are hay bale gardening, tell me what plants are working for you and what plants aren't. Do you have any helpful tips about hay bale gardening?

I started doing this 3 years ago and I love it! It is so much easier than regular gardening. You're further off the ground, there are far fewer weeds and pests, it takes less water, you don't have to "till" and the old hay turns into compost when you're done!

Thanks!

I currently have 2 friends that are trying the hay bale gardening this year and so far so good.  The beans and tomatoes are doing well.  I didn't have time this year to try it, but will definitely try it next year.
