UK Garden Freebies Money saving ideas

• Make compost - recycle all the green waste you make.
• Grow plants from seed - its cheaper
• Swap cuttings with your neighbours
• Save plastic pots for use as plant pots
• Grow veggies - its easy whether you grow a few lettuces in a pot or rows and rows of veggies.
• plant a fruit tree or too - you'll get free food!
• Save rainwater for watering the plants *You might need to cadge a barrel to do this cheaply. This is a great idea if you're on a water meter.
• If you're preparing a brand new vegetable patch you can cover the soil with old carpet and this will supress the weeds and kill them off.
• You can grow driedbeans and dried seeds - that you get from the supermarket. As long as they've not been cooked - so those dried in bags and not the ones in cans will grow.
• Garlic cloves can be planted and these will grow too! A bulb for every clove!
• Ginger will grow. It makes a nice house plant too.
• Fresh veg seed might well grow - but it might not always come true to how you'd expect Well worth a try, especially if the kids want to grow stuff,
• If you have a tenants or residents group ask if they have a tool hire scheme - they might well have and if they don't they might start one up if there is enough demand!
• Look for bargains on garden furniture towards the middle or end of season.
