Save on Gardening

Having your own garden saves you money more than you know it if you're doing it right. This is my own guide line to check if I am saving money on my gardening or spending more.

Usually we just buy potting soil and pots for our garden, but this is not saving this is spending. To make a saving on pots and potting soil improvising is a must. For potting soil, instead of buying just pick a place where you could dig out good soil or the best thing is make your own potting soil by preparing a compost before planting season.

For improvise pots, recycled materials are the best choice, empty plastic milk or orange juice bottles works greate. Cut the top part and presto you have a recycled pot, it does not look nice but it does what it suppose to do. Just don't forget to poke some hole at the bottom to allow excess water to drain out.
