You don’ t need a lot of cash to create a beautiful garden.
Budget landscaping and yard care doesn’t mean cutting corners; it means making the most of your tools and existing plants. Follow these six easy-to-implement tips to save money on your great outdoors.
1. Remember: Seeds are cheaper than plants.
Many vegetables are easy to grow from seed, and a $2 seed packet is a lot cheaper than a full-sized plant — or buying vegetables from the store. Try tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, beans, lettuce and beets from seed. They’re easy, even for beginning gardeners. Start them indoors under lights for a head start or sow directly in the garden. If you’re nervous about starting from seed, seedlings purchased from a nursery are typically only slightly more expensive.
2. Invest in a mulching mower.
A good mulching mower pays for itself in several ways. First, you don’t have to pay to have grass clippings bagged and hauled to a composting facility. Second, returning clippings to your lawn is like free fertilizer. Over the course of a full season you’ll return about as much nitrogen as one full-strength feeding. And when fall comes, do the same with fallen leaves.
A large container can be expensive to fill with fresh potting soil. To save money, place one or more empty nursery pots upside down in the bottom. Not only does it reduce the amount of soil needed, it reduces weight, too.
