Plan Your Vegetable Garden with Neighbors, friends and Family

Coordinate your vegetable garden with your neighbors to share crops when they’re ready for harvest. This way, you can swap excess produce instead of letting it go to waste. For example, if you grow too many tomatoes while your neighbor has extra cucumbers, you can exchange and enjoy a more diverse selection of homegrown vegetables.

Choose Perennials Over Annuals

Opt for perennials instead of annuals in your flower beds. Since perennials return year after year, they eliminate the need to buy new plants each season. As they grow, divide and share them with friends—this way, everyone enjoys a beautiful garden without spending extra money.

Start Composting

Turn kitchen scraps and coffee grounds into nutrient-rich compost. This natural fertilizer is better than store-bought potting soil and costs nothing. Plus, it’s an eco-friendly way to recycle waste while boosting your garden’s health.

Use Pebbles Instead of Mulch

Instead of purchasing mulch every spring and fall, consider using pebbles or small rocks as ground cover. While the initial investment may be higher, they last much longer and reduce the need for frequent replacements, saving you money in the long run

Invest in High-Quality Gardening Tools

 

Spending a bit more on durable gardening tools will save you money over time. High-quality shovels, pruners, and gloves last for years, eliminating the need to replace them each season. Look for well-made tools that can withstand regular use to get the most value for your investment.
