Starting a veggie garden doesn’t have to break the bank! Here’s how: - Start from seed or buy transplants that give you bang for your buck. We grow a mixture of both from seed and transplants in our garden because we like the speed and convenience of having a transplant, but we also like the budget-friendliness of starting from seed. Here are some of our favorite companies for seeds: https://www.johnnyseeds.com/ https://migardener.com/ https://www.rareseeds.com/ - Repurpose Containers: Use old buckets, storage bins, or even milk cartons as planters. Just drill drainage holes at the bottom. You can also use milk jugs for winter sowing. Here's a link on how to winter sow your seeds: https://growitbuildit.com/illustrated-guide-to-winter-sowing-with-pictures/ - Bonus Tip: Make your own organic fertilizer with banana peels and water—soak the peels for a few days and use the water for a potassium-rich boost! - Lastly, save seeds from year to year from your own plants. Plants like Zinnias, Marigolds, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Melons, Zucchinis, and more are so easy to save seeds from. NOTE! If you are going to spend more money, i'd suggest to spend it in good compost. The better the soil, the better change you'll have of having a successful garden.
