Instead of purchasing bags, buy soil and compost in bulk to save money.

[{"selector":"#anim-0ab12e24-000d-4a24-91b1-cca4b9e8a9c5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Or better yet, make your own compost.

Ask the nursery or garden center for discounted bags on soil – sometimes bags were ripped open that they will sell at a discount.

[{"selector":"#anim-08c60a54-ca72-4f0a-93c8-1c23e63112ad [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(9.909909909909908%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Call a local tree service to see if they have free mulch from cutting down and mulching trees.

[{"selector":"#anim-36118577-6d00-4b63-80a1-e1d557e675ef [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(9.909909909909908%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Collect fallen leaves and make your own leaf mold.

Ask your municipality if they sell or provide mulch – sometimes it’s less expensive.
