What's your fav money saving tip in your garden? ⬇️
HOW IN SD COUNTY CAN YOU SAVE $ GROWING THERE????? one reason we left!
Oh wow awesome tips and beautiful garden!
I take epsom salt/baking soda/boron/sea salt baths,i use that water for my plants like 1x/month.
Im in the southeast, can you use a greenhouse in the warmer months? Or just the winter? Also what uses does it perform? Thank U
Spent around $1000 this year probably just over lol
As sketch as it sounds, my HOA president dumpster dive scavenged a LOT of our landscaping plants from Home Depot's back dumpster area. I've seem a reel from Gary at the Rusted Garden where they threw out an entire pallet of vegetable plants that were still pretty decently fine.
Unfortunately I live in an area that composting is illegal
My tip goes along with Kevin's planning tip. START SMALL. Often people make the mistake of wanting everything in their garden from the beginning (a mistake I made myself), but that's expensive. Start out with just the plants/crops you REALLY want or need to grow. Invest in a few very high quality all purpose tools (like a good shovel/spade and a wheelbarrow). Set aside a little bit of money for soil amendments. If you're just starting out, it's likely that your soil isn't ideal for growing and needs some additional nutrients to be productive.
I have seen the best interest rates only at staking sites with Cross Staking technology, Cross Staking for example
Guys, if you have BTC, ETH, LTC, BNB or tether – just open staking with an Cross Staking provider and don't worry.
First, read what Cross Staking is, and then tell tales about mining and trading …
Why trade or hold if you can start using Cross Staking ?
Only old users just hold crypto…Use Cross Staking please
I made the mistake of trying to grow every vegetable I could grow from seed! Some of them I did not eat! Now I only grow what my family likes and that I would rather grow than purchase from the grocery. It is more satisfying and less expensive. I also compost now so have my own amendment nutrients for my garden. Watering is still an issue for me however here in San Diego. I believe I tend to over water and trying to be more conscious of that. Thanks for the video.

1. I get free plants from my friends in my garden club
2. I'm trade seeds in facebook groups
Kevin, I love your garden!! And the mural is amazing! Love from SW Oregon
Where did you get the net for the trellis?
Kevin, are you single? You would make the best son-in-law!!! I have a beautiful, smart, funny, faith-filled daughter! Lol.
A few of my own:
1) Use Chip Drop. You'll never buy mulch again. You can also grow mushrooms in the woodchips to break them down faster, as well as in any logs you might get.
2) Grow from kitchen scraps, not for an immediate harvest, but to get the seeds of those particular plants. This is a great way to get thousands of carrot and onion seeds, for example.
3) Save fruit seeds and germinate them. I've been saving hundreds of pome, stonefruit, and cherry seeds just to see what grows.
4) Eat your weeds, and intentionally cultivate them. Dandelion, wild amaranth, purslane, and lamb's quarters are some that I'm letting grow on purpose.
5) Take advantage of "invasive" plants. This one can be controversial, but if you have poor soil conditions or a habit of neglecting plants, then tenacious and fast spreading crops might be right for you. I'm growing sunchokes, horseradish, and all kinds of mint.
Also. lets not act like Chris isnt int he same shot as you 2 hehe upcoming video I bet!!!
Aside from edibles I honestly haven't paid for a plant since I became a professional gardener. You get an endless supply of cuttings to grow from while you work ☺️
I buy plants and then they die and I buy more
This was not a money saving tip
