Mar 11, How To Save Money With Your Garden

If you've read my recent About Me page you'll realise why I'm keen to make my garden pay. So let me briefly share a few top tips on how to reap the benefits of your garden and reduce cost.

With Potatoes you can expect to get at least 6 good sized spuds off each plant and probably more... That's about 60 spuds for a 10 foot row. A potato bucket with 4 plants may give you 20 spuds. And home-grown short season 'new' potato varieties beat shop prices.

You can save more when you share your seed potato order with neighbours, friends and colleagues. Yes, why not get everyone gardening?

And I've long recommended

DirectGardening to American gardeners for the lowest prices by a long long way...

That's because their website generates volume sales. And that's something for you to take advantage of - wholesale prices.

You get wholesale unit prices even with smaller quantities suited to back gardens and tubs... And you get an even better unit price the more you buy.

You have to buy them to grow and eat them so the price difference with culinary potatoes is small. But the biggest plus of growing your own from horticultural seed potato is the wonderful choice of variety.

And of course quality certified reduces the risk of plant disease that might prevent you growing future crops.

Grow your other vegetables and flowers now from packet seed. Especially in the U.K. the price difference between seeds and plants is huge. Remember that most packets contain enough seed to last 2 years.

With a little care and attention you can grow dozens and dozens of plants - flowers, vegetables, and herbs to plant out all from low cost seed packets. The potential to save on food is huge.

Once again the massive choice of variety exceeds any other way of growing plants.

Buy online by mail order where the offers keep cropping up. You save on an outing to the store and the stuff you get comes direct from the nursery.

But when you combine your orders with other stuff that you need there's also more savings to be made on order value and postage and packing.
