Vinegar is not that expensive and can be used for many things in your yard. Vinegar makes a great weed killer; especially for weeds/grass between cracks in your sidewalk or in your flower bed. Vinegar may also kill your grass so you have to be a bit careful when putting on the lawn. Vinegar keeps ants and cats away so acts as a good animal deterrent due to the smell. Vinegar makes a great cleaner and disinfectant and vinegar will keep your fresh cut flowers around longer – just add a bit of vinegar to the vase.

Most avid gardeners have a surplus of seeds, reach out to a few folks in your neighborhood and see if you could seed share. There are more than enough seeds in a pack for multiple families – unless you have a huge growing area. Last year I shared seeds with a friend and was able to try growing vegetables that I hadn’t planned on.

Nothing tastes better than fresh spices in food. Rather than buy expensive spices, start a spice pot with some of the easier to grow spices. Basil, sage and oregano are all used fairly often and grow pretty easily given sun and water. Cilantro is a bit harder because it needs to be in ground vs a pot but if you have the space, cilantro is amazing fresh.

The cost of fresh organic vegetables is ever so expensive. If you can buy seeds or even little plants and grow your own vegetables you will save money over the long run. You may need to buy some animal repellant because once you get great looking vegetables, you will find you are a popular house among squirrel and duck alike. I lost some pumpkins to ducks and I lost my tomatoes to squirrels last year. I finally bought a container of repels all and so far it’s repelling all.

Something many people don’t think about is how they can actually use their garden to grow gifts for people. How many times to you send flowers to people.

Under tree’s, along the sides of bushes, in some garden beds, it may be more cost effective to plant ground cover than to continue to put Mulch out season after season. Mulch may not be that expensive in and of itself but paying someone to put the mulch down certainly gets to be expensive. There are multiple types of groundcover some preferring shade to sun and vice versa. There are ground covers that flower and ground covers that stay close to the ground or provide a few feet of lift. Find an inexpensive ground cover you like and forget about having the mulch. To save even more money, you can often get snippets of ground cover from a neighbor’s or friends yard with permission of course.

For those of you new to gardening a perennial is a plant that comes back year after year. If you can landscape most of your yard with perennials then you won’t have to buy new plants every year. The other nice thing about perennials is that (as long as they don’t die in the frost) they get bigger every year. Eventually you will be able to separate the plant and have a new offspring to enjoy or to gift to others.

If you don’t have any tree’s around your house, plant some. Make sure they won’t get so tall that you’ll have to risk them falling on the house. If you get a few trees and place them strategically, you’ll get the benefit of shade. This will keep your house cooler in the summer and save you money on your air conditioning bill. It may also serve to insulate your house from wind in the winter so you may see a savings here too. Planting a tree with a loved one is a special moment so don’t pass it up.

Use soaker hoses and drip irrigation systems to save money over time. They have the benefit of being better for your plants because they deliver water smoothly over time. Soaker hoses themselves are not that expensive and there are probably only a few areas that really could benefit from them. Save yourself the hassle of watering and invest in a few soaker hoses.
