How to Get Gardening Supplies for Free

One of the most common reasons people give for not starting a garden is that they can’t afford it. They think about buying seeds or plants, soil amendments, tomato cages and all those tools they might need. Gardening certainly can be an expensive endeavor, but it doesn’t have to be. If you want to grow your own food without spending an arm and leg on supplies there are many gardening supplies you can get very cheaply or even for free. It takes some time to search out some of these alternative and it might take more advance planning, but if you want your garden to save you even more money give some of my suggestions a try and see how free gardening can be!

Libby Yuewhoo on Nov 10, 2013I garden in a Community Garden and we are always foraging for free soil, plants and mulch to add to the gardens. Last fall the city delivered huge loads of wood chip mulch for the general public and community garden to use. Unfortunately, because of lack of experience with such a product, some added it around tender plants and shortly they died a sudden death. So be aware some new mulches will heat and "sour" if they are now turned over and allowed to cool before applying to the garden. Scavenger beware.
