Gardening Tips & Tricks

To help keep your garden looking amazing and stick to a budget, here are some creative tips for saving money on garden tools and supplies.

Use toilet paper rolls to start seeds instead of purchasing seed cell  trays. The TP roll can be planted directly in the soil. And as it breaks  down, plant roots can grow into the soil.

Make cloches from old plastic soda bottles.

Use old milk jugs, rotisserie chicken containers, and plastic soda bottles as seed starting containers for indoors or winter sowing.

Regularly clean and oil your tools so they last longer.

Look for old plant pots that are being discontinued at garden centers.

Start your garden season earlier by making a cold frame using an old window that sits on old bricks, pavers, or wood.

Keep plastic nursery pots and use them at the base of larger planters to keep those containers light AND use less soil.
