I hadn't heard of using straw bales for a greenhouse, but there's a house up north of where I live that used straw bales for the outside walls. It was built in the late 1800's (I think) and is a "tourist" attraction. It sounds like it should work, since all you really need to worry about is the glass at the top to create the "greenhouse" effect.

Interesting idea and something which I am sure you will find more information on an internet search of straw buildings. Basically as long as the walls are rendered then you can have a structure which will last for many years .
