Upcycling

When looking to grow your garden on a budget, there are plenty of ways for you to cut costs. One of the best ways that you can go about doing this is through the use of upcycling. This is the practice of taking everyday items, such as water bottles and turning them into plant pots or other useful pieces of garden equipment.

Upcycling can also ensure that you have the nutrients that your plants need in order to grow, with food waste working as fertiliser in the soil, helping your plants to grow and flourish.

Cuttings

If you are looking for a new plant to grow in your garden, you could opt for cuttings instead of purchasing new seeds from the store. If you have a friend or family member with a plant that you particularly like then you can take a cutting from their plant and begin to grow it in your garden.

If it is looked after properly, this will then blossom into a fully grown plant or tree, making this a more cost-effective solution for introducing new greenery and colour into your garden.

Natural Sourcing

There are plenty of expenses that can add up over time, whether this is the purchasing of pots and other tools or even something as simple as fertiliser.

These additional costs can be reduced, by sourcing your fertiliser from a local farm that uses horse manure. If the farmer has used this for his field and is selling the leftovers, you may even find it at a further reduction, making it cheaper than the supermarket prices.

So, for those of you that want a colourful, varied and unique garden on a budget, by using materials that you already have, you can save money and have the perfect garden to show off to your friends and enjoy spending time in.
