There are many different types of gardening, but it is importantto learn the basics of the activity. Below you will find a listof my tips to planting a garden on a budget.

Learn as much as you can about gardening. Don’t pay forgardening books, use your local library. It is free, and you canget a wide assortment of books to get you started. If you findsomething useful like a planting schedule, photocopy thatparticular page to keep it in your files. There are many hobbygardening sites online as well, so try to do a Google search for“gardening.”

Plant what you like. Your first garden doesn’t have tobe a complex one. Don’t take on more than you can chew,literally. If you have a small family, plant only what you caneat or give away. Don’t plant a huge amount of crops, becauseyou will end up throwing them away at the end of the season. Onthe same note, don’t plant things that your family won’t

eat. Agarden full of spinach might not go over well with your kids, soplan accordingly.

Buy your supplies online. Buying tools and plants onlinecan save you a great deal of money. Look for discount sitesonline. You can save up to 50% on the supplies that you need,just by shopping online. Make sure to factor in shipping aswell, so if they have a free shipping deal- go for it!
