Frugal Gardening: How to Save Money on Your Outdoor Oasis

As a fiscally responsible gardener, I’m always on the lookout for ways to save money on my outdoor oasis. With three acres of gardens on a 16-acre property, I know firsthand how expensive it can be to maintain them. But with a few simple tips and tricks, you can create a beautiful and thriving garden without breaking the bank.

Propagate Your Cuttings

One of the biggest expenses in gardening is buying new plants. But did you know that you can create new plants from cuttings? By propagating your cuttings, you can create new plants with roots from previously cut plants. This not only saves you money but also allows you to multiply your favorite plants.

Mulch Your Way to Savings

Mulching is another area where you can save money. Instead of buying expensive mulch, try making your own compost. Turn your garden waste into mulch and plant food, and you’ll be amazed at how much you can save. You can also use natural elements already available on your property, such as pine needles, shredded leaves, or dirt.

Mulching with natural elements can save you money and reduce waste.
