A good way to save on fruit and vegetables is to grow your own, like your parents may have done. It is not difficult to do it and not at all costly. The enjoyment of having fresh produce from your own garden is great. A herb garden is something you can try as well. The taste of your own produce is far better than that available in store. Growing your own produce is very satisfying. Also you are the person controlling what is added to the production. You can be happy knowing the fresh produce is additive free.
Many people who would like to garden, just don't have the room for long rows of carrots or large spaces to grow squash or melons. Therefore people need to look at alternatives. One possible answer to this problem is to plant your garden in smaller spaces. A great reason for this is that you can cater for your needs but still plant more for later harvests. One good idea is to plant your garden in old tires.
You can find many places where you can get these for free. In some cases, they might cost 5 bucks with tire discounts. You only need four or five, depending on the amount of planting you intend to do. But large installations may require over ten tires.
The idea of old tires in the garden may not seem so good. Will the neighbors not like them? Covering them up with something can make them look much better. You can set them in wooden boxes to increase their attractiveness. Cutting into floral patterns and then painting them works. The rims of the tires could be used as a stand.
it is best to pick a place and cultivate the soil by digging down to a depth of 4 inches. You want the roots to extend as far as they need to grow into healthy plants. Always use good soil for planting. A local store, Home Depot or a Lowes will stock this. Make sure you fertilize it properly and then plant your seeds according to the instructions. It is vital that water well but not too much. Your needs will be filled from the small but efficient garden. Plenty of money will be saved as you won't have to buy your fresh produce from a store.
