There’s no doubt about it. It’s almost impossible to have any kind of garden, no matter how small, without spending at least something. Even though I’ve been gardening for three decades, I am still astounded at the cost of buying plants every time I visit my local nursery.
But it’s not just plants that make a garden. Those plants need feeding, pruning with a quality pair of shears and watering. Then, of course, you have the added expense of buying containers if you’re not planting straight into beds.
