Frugal Gardening

Frugal Gardening Is Easy Gardening!

When you are new to frugal gardening and wondering how you can grow your own food as cheaply as possible, it’s easy to become overwhelmed with all of the information that is out there detailing different methods and practices.

Many people decide to try and cut their food bills by growing a garden, but soon find out that the hard work and problems that they encounter just aren’t worth it. But the truth is growing a garden isn’t hard or problematic if you pick the right method.

Mother nature knows how to grow food and yet most gardening methods stray so far from nature that it’s no wonder things go wrong. It makes sense to work with mother nature instead of battling against her.

Every time we make an unnecessary intervention in our gardens we create unintended problems which require further intervention and yep you guessed it, those interventions create more problems leading to more interventions and round and round we go!

What is the number one source of problems in most vegetable gardens? Digging! It’s also back breaking, time consuming work.

Many people, old hands and newbies alike, don’t realize that when you continually dig soil you destroy it. Soil is host to millions of bacteria and it is those bacteria which enrich your soil through their life processes. When you till or dig the soil, you expose those bacteria to too much air and many of them die. When they die so does your soil. Gardeners then face the task of adding fertility back into the soil with an array of composts and (expensive) fertilizers. Then months later, just as the soil is re stabilizing itself they go and dig the garden over again for next years crops and ruin the soil all over again, over and over again – year after year.

A soil that is constantly under attack in this way is never truly vibrant and healthy. A lacklustre soil means less bountiful harvests and crops which are susceptible to pest attack and disease. This leads to more money spent on sprays and powders to save the plants.

There is a better way, you can grow a magnificent frugal garden, using natural systems that are perfect for anyone that is new to vegetable gardening. Not only does natural gardening take a lot of the effort out of growing vegetables, but it gives you increased yields too. Imagine harvesting armfuls of delicious tomatoes, squash, potatoes, lettuce, corn, carrots, onions, beans… the list goes on and on, from your very first garden. With natural gardening you can grow so many more vegetables than in a similar sized traditional vegetable garden.

Top Tips For Your Frugal Garden

  • no soil cultivation (apart from the initial tilling)
  • mixed up your plants – no rows or beds of mono crops
  • don’t use fertilizers or pesticides
  • let plants complete their life cycle and go to seed
  • no empty gaps – if you don’t fill them nature will – with weeds!

Learn the secrets of growing a frugal garden

Grow a mix of vegetables, herbs and flowers in each area. Planting cabbage, lettuce, beans, tomatoes, etc all laid out in straight rows or set together in single crop beds is not the best thing to do. Your plants will flourish if you mix them up.
Plant onions in the spaces between strawberry plants, let beans vine up and around your corn, shade lettuce under tomatoes. The more varied root structures you have growing together the more your garden will flourish. A vibrant mix will provide the best environment for the soil bacteria and earth worms.

Allow plants to complete their life cycles and go to seed. You’ll benefit from the new plants that spring up when the time is right without any effort on your part. And having lots of seed in the ground means that it will be your vegetable plants emerging from the soil instead of weeds.
