Growing your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs can save you a lot of money over the long run. When you invest in your garden, you\u2019re basically completely negating the need to buy produce at a grocery store, which can add up to a lot of savings very quickly.<\/p>\n
Of course, even knowing that your garden is going to save you cash, it\u2019s easy to overspend on that investment if you\u2019re not careful. However, with a few simple tips, you can avoid this problem and save a lot of money from the very beginning.<\/p>\n
Buy in Bulk and Share Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n Do you know other homesteaders who are getting their gardens started? In general, seeds, plants, and other garden necessities are cheaper when you buy them in bulk, and if you have others to share the cost with you, you can get a really great deal. Even if you\u2019re not sharing the cost with others, if you\u2019re buying items that will last for years (like heirloom seeds), you can save money on future gardening needs.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t Overplant Your Garden<\/strong><\/p>\n As you plan your garden, don\u2019t plant seeds and young plants right on top of each other. Plant with the future \u2013 and your full-grown plants \u2013 in mind, and you\u2019ll avoid a lot of waste.<\/p>\n Maintain Your Garden<\/strong><\/p>\n Weeds can choke out fruit and vegetable plants, and parasites can kill them. Spend time in your garden regularly, weeding, watching for parasites, and keeping everything in good shape. This will avoid wasted money on plants that fall victim to outside forces, and you\u2019ll get much more produce each season.<\/p>\n Use all three of these tips to save money on your garden now, and it will pay you back with even more produce and a great deal of satisfaction later. Good luck! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Growing your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs can save you a lot of money over the long run.
