Until recently, Ive never really considered how much of what you need to start and maintain a garden can be acquired for free or nearly free. But a few years back I challenged myself to see if I could create an organic garden from scratch on a total budget of $25 or less. The premise was that I was acting as a brand-new gardener, with absolutely no gardening-related equipment in my possession. I was pleasantly surprised to discover just how far you can stretch that almighty dollar when you put your mind to it.
Take starting seeds, for example. Rather than buying expensive commercial products, I learned to improvise using common household items, like reusing pizza boxes as seed-starting trays. So in celebration of another fast-approaching season of playing in the dirt, here is a partial list of ideas to get you started and keep you on track to your most frugal garden yet.
Repurpose or recycle: When you start thinking creatively, youll be amazed at the amount of things you discover that can be used in place of store-bought items. For example, I just returned from two grocery stores. Both donated large clear plastic cake domes with a base. These make perfect mini-greenhouses (to fit over those pizza-box seed-starting trays), and theyll last for years. If I purchased the real thing, Id spend about $5 each.
Social media: Facebook and, especially, Twitter have been a gold mine for me in sourcing goods for my $25 garden. Ive tapped into a vast network of talented, giving people who want to help you succeed (or seed, in my case). Ive had an outpouring of offers from seeds to supplies. One new Twitter friend even provided free hand-painted plant markers! I treasure them still.
Craigslist.org and Freecycle.org: These are the coolest online ways to find exactly what you need. Craigslist is like a giant virtual garage sale where you can find just about anything you need, right near where you live. Some things are free but most are for sale at good prices. Freecycle, on the other hand, is all free. Its all based on the idea of keeping things out of the landfill. You post online to give things away and look there for what you need that others are giving away. I have friends who have equipped their entire garden via Freecycle, from hoses and soil to bricks, seeds and plants.
Garage sales: Just in case youre not a fan of the online world, consider neighborhood garage sales. As much as you need a grow light or nice shovel, someone in your neighborhood is ready to make a deal.
Local government: Many city, county or other municipalities offer free compost for the taking. Some offer rain barrels and helpful seminars on gardening. These services are almost always free or well within even a cheapskates budget.
Organize your own swap: Local events provide the ideal opportunity to swap seeds, tools, plants and supplies. Schools, churches and civic groups are great places to organize these events. Not only are you able to trade for free, youll meet some wonderful people and recycle many of those items youre ready to part with.
Online seed swaps: There are many organizations and groups across the country that facilitate seed-swapping. The National Gardening Association (garden.org) has a free online service for this, and hyperlocavore.com is a worthy grass-roots effort that exemplifies the spirit of giving and sharing as it continues to build a network of members. Search online for seed swaps for more options.
Agricultural bulletins and classifieds by state: Many regions or states have an online and/or printed version of their agricultural news. It includes a classified section that lists people willing to mail you seeds, merely for the price of a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE). The offerings are amazing. Search online using the term agricultural bulletins by state.
So little space, but so many more ideas to share. What are ways you save money in the garden? Please email me at email@joegardener.com and let me know. We can continue this conversation soon.

Until recently, I’ve never really considered how much of what you need to start and maintain a garden can be acquired for free or nearly free.

Green thumbs up: Winter survival tips for gardeners
As the chilly days of early February pass slowly by, the winter season seems to creep along for those of us who yearn to till the soil. Reportedly, that famous prognosticating groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil of Gobblers Knob, Pennsylvania failed to see his shadow suggesting an early spring, but when one considers that this chubby rodent resides in a temperature-controlled domain with all the comforts of stardom and his predictions have been on target only 39 percent of the time, I find it difficult to trust his prophecy. Last year, the toothy soothsayer predicted six more weeks of winter when we experienced one of the mildest winters and springs on record. Locally, Ms. G, a furry resident groundhog at Drumlin Farm in Lincoln, saw her shadow last weekend indicating a prolonged winter season, which actually coincides more closely with current meteorological forecasts. Whichever prediction comes to pass, I cannot imagine any self-respecting gardener giving credence to a woodchuck, considering the devastation annually perpetrated on many of our landscapes by these annoying nuisances.
When chilly temperatures or snowy conditions limit my opportunities to work outdoors, I reluctantly accept Mother Nature’s gift of forced relaxation and look for signs of spring among the pages of gardening magazines, catalogs, and books. Filled with tempting photographs of beautiful bulbs, annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs, I find it necessary to exercise tremendous self-control, especially when I am looking out the window at a nearly colorless landscape. Years of overbuying and recent time constraints, however, have made me a wiser shopper. Although I order multiple packets of seeds to start my annuals and vegetables, I use most catalogs as reference material, compiling a lengthy wish list of new cultivars, knowing that even scarce, unusual plants are often available from local sources.
Early February is also an ideal time to search the Internet and local newspapers for listings of gardening lectures, educational courses, flower shows, and symposiums. My calendar for the next few months is overflowing with a wealth of horticultural opportunities just waiting to transport me through the winter months and on to the first glimpses of springtime in my own garden.
Spring flower shows are by far my favorite means of beating the winter blues. Leave the snow, ice, and winter behind and step into the wondrous sights, sounds, and fragrances of springtime just an hour to our south at the Rhode Island Flower Show which will be celebrating its 20th year Thursday, Feb. 21 to Sunday, Feb. 24 at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence. Guest speakers include Kevin O’Connor from This Old House, authors Julie Messervy and Melinda Myers, perennial specialist Kerry Mendez, and Karen Daubmann from the New York Botanical Gardens. Visit the show’s web site at www.flowershow.com for ticket information and a schedule of lectures.
The Boston Flower and Garden Show (www.bostonflowershow.com) returns to the Seaport World Trade Center from Wednesday, March. 13 to Sunday, Mar. 17. For a few glorious hours, enjoy more than 25 professionally landscaped gardens, the fresh scent of pine bark mulch, and the soothing sounds of water cascading over rocky waterfalls, in addition to an incredible line-up of lectures and demonstrations and a marketplace. The Massachusetts Horticultural Society continues its connection with the show through spectacular floral design competitions, amateur horticulture, and plant society exhibits. Flower Shows offer horticultural happiness for all levels of gardening interest, quickly erasing memories of a harsh winter season.
Gardeners in eastern Massachusetts are truly fortunate to have many prestigious horticultural organizations nearby. Join the Massachusetts Horticultural Society (www.masshort.org) this month and receive free tickets to the Boston Flower Show plus other terrific benefits including free admission to Society’s Elm Bank Reservation in Wellesley, gift certificates to White Flower Farm and Weston Nurseries, and free subscriptions to Organic Gardening and Garden Design magazine. A wide array of horticultural courses, workshops, and events are offered throughout the year. Upcoming lectures include seed selection and acquisition, dahlias, and cold frames and hoop houses.
Slightly farther to the west, The Tower Hill Botanic Garden (www.towerhillbg.org) located in Boylston, MA provides magnificent grounds, spectacular views, courses and events, and a lush limonaia (a conservatory featuring temperate and tropical plants) that will surely erase all thoughts of winter while inside. A visit to this lovely facility barely more than a week ago afforded me an opportunity to photograph the beauty of an exquisitely designed, snow-covered landscape, which is almost as lovely in winter as it is during the active growing season.
The New England Wildflower Society’s botanical garden, Garden in the Woods (www.newfs.org) in Framingham and the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University (www.arboretum.harvard.edu) in Jamaica Plain also offer breathtaking landscapes and a wide array of horticultural courses, workshops, and events throughout the year. Check out their web sites or go to www.bostongardens.com for a listing of many fabulous horticultural opportunities.
For passionate gardeners who tend to be preoccupied with plants year-round, there is a never-ending quest for new varieties, the need to absorb every bit of written cultural information and the desire to explore new methods for combining plants in the landscape. If you are a “plantaholic,” consider taking educational courses offered by one of these local horticultural institutions, our local science center, or become active in the outstanding activities provided by our local garden clubs. Gardening programs and information are available on the radio, TV, and the Internet providing therapy for the short term. For the serious addicts, participation in a plant society may be an effective remedy. Escape the winter doldrums by signing up for a course or attending a special event and expand your gardening knowledge with others who share your passion for plants.
Suzanne Mahler is an avid gardener, photographer and lecturer who has been developing the 1.5-acre property surrounding her home in Hanover for more than 30 years. Her weekly gardening column ‘Green Thumbs Up’ has appeared in GateHouse Media New England newspapers for more than a decade. She is a member of two local garden clubs, past President of the New England Daylily Society, an overseer for the Massachusetts Horticultural Society and is employed at two garden centers.
Before gardening begins, here’s some tips
Before you know it, local vegetable gardeners will be planting and preparing for a great harvest of fresh produce. Being able to reap the rewards of all of your hard work is a sense of accomplishment for many Gordon County citizens. Having success in your vegetable garden is not always a given so you must prepare for that success.
Today, I will be sharing some tips on vegetable gardening that hopefully will tip the scales in your favor for a positive gardening experience. I will be sharing tips from a UGA publication by Bob Westerfield, UGA Horticulturist and David Linvill, Chatham County Extension Agent.
Proper site selection is a starting point in vegetable gardening success. If you think about it, we select proper sites for our trees and shrubs so a vegetable garden is no different. The first key is that the site needs to be one that receives good quality sunlight between eight to 10 hours per day. Stay away from those shady areas.
Try to find a spot where the soil drains well and also keep in mind that it is better that the site is close to the house and your water source. If the area is already fairly weed free that is going to be a plus too.
Make a plan on what you want to plant and where you are going to plant that particular vegetable. If you have your garden mapped out, you can use that in planning your crop rotation in that space for future plantings. You can plan according to sunlight too by planting your taller growing items on the north or west side of the garden so they will not shade out the lower growing items.
I learned a long time ago to not sway folks on varieties. Tomatoes for example are personal preference. There are also some items that are just family traditions such as Silver Queen corn. Our family garden would not be a garden without Silver Queen. From time to time, you may want to try a new variety of some things to see if you like that new variety item.
I probably could have put this earlier in the article, but soil sampling is something you should not overlook. We are naturally more acidic in NW Georgia. This means we are dealing with a lot of low pH soils. When the pH is low then it leaves you open for fertility issues and vegetables that may never take full advantage of that good fertilizer you are applying. Plus, a soil test will take out your guess work on how much lime to apply and will also give you fertilization recommendations.
Right now is a great time to send in that $9 soil test through our office to the UGA Soil Test Lab. You can call us for sampling details or pick up a sample bag with the directions on the back.
Fall is a great time to add fallen leaves or other organic materials such as compost to gardens to help build up the soils with organic matter. You can turn that material deeply in the soils.
Another thing to remember is that vegetable gardening is work. Now, it can be a healthy outdoor activity, but the larger the garden, the more effort and responsibility it takes. Keep in mind that weeds can be an issue so you may have to put some elbow grease into cultivating or buying a hoe for the garden. Mulching the garden can not only help with weed issues, but can help with reducing cultivation and helping soil moisture. If you use straw or manures in the garden, make sure they are coming from a herbicide free source.
Finally, there will be periods of time that you will have to add supplemental water to your garden. That is why being close to a well or other water source is important. Using soaker hoses or irrigation tape is better than overhead sprinklers. You want to soak the ground and not the foliage. Foliage that stays wet for extended periods of time creates an environment for disease when you add in our heat and humidity along with disease pathogens. Just like row crop producers will scout large acreage for insects and disease, you need to investigate your garden for issues that you can handle early instead of letting the problems get more widespread.

Gardening Tips for February

McDade’s Nursery
Stephen has 14+ years of experience in horticulture as Publisher and Marketing Director for Nursery Management and Production, Greenhouse Management and Production and Garden Center magazine.
An avid gardener with a lifelong passion for plants, he enjoys sharing his knowledge and experience with customers.
Stop Lawn Weeds this Spring
To have a lush green lawn free of weeds this spring, now is the time to apply a pre-emergent!
This year with the unusually mild temperatures, weeds are starting to sprout early. The 10 day forecast continues to show a seasonal warming trend. McDade’s recommends applying a lawn pre-emergent at the start of February.
Pre-emergents work by preventing the weed seed from germinating – applying at the right time is important. A reliable pre-emergent that works on weeds in East Texas is H-Yield’s Weed Stopper with Dimension.
If you prefer to use an organic product our recommendation is Nature’s Guide Spreadable Corn Gluten. It’s a natural weed preventer and nitrogen fertilizer.
February is also the time to fertilize trees, shrubs and evergreens. Use a rose or all-purpose garden type fertilizer to feed roses, fruit and flowering trees, plus other deciduous trees and shrubs. If you use dry type fertilizers, be sure to water-in thoroughly after application.
Spraying. February is a good month to make an application of winter dormant spray on fruit trees to kill damaging insects as they wake up from their winter’s nap. Spray at a time when the wind is not blowing and when temperatures are above freezing.
Pruning. Prune back trees, shrubs and roses before buds start to show. Valentine’s Day is considered the best time to trim back roses.
Freezing Temperatures. If temperatures do drop close to 32 degrees use a freeze cloth to protect early flowering or tender plants.
Happy Gardening
