Top Ten Tips for Gardening on a Budget

2/11/2016

2 Comments

 
At the end of the growing season last year, one of my volunteers remarked, "I think you have given us hundreds of dollars worth of vegetables this fall." Indeed, growing your own garden often means that you are saving money on produce that would normally cost a lot of money in the grocery store, especially if it's organic.

However, with the money you invest in compost, seeds, and plants each season, not to mention the time, sometimes the vegetables or fruit that you're harvesting from your garden seem like they are worth their weight in gold. Granted, there are so many intangible benefits to having a garden and I would never give up gardening because the 'numbers don't pencil.' But, it is also possible to grow delicious and healthy food without breaking the bank. 

In my video today, I go over my Top Ten Tips for Gardening on a Budget. These are recommendations that I practice myself that not only allow you to save money but have the added benefit of building soil, conserving water, cutting down on pests, and creating a more ecological garden.

Best regards,
