One of my goals when I started this channel earlier this year was to show that you can grow a lot of food without spending much money. Our biological approach to improving soil fertility – which relies primarily on compost, vermicompost, mulch, and compost tea – costs almost nothing. Saving seeds also helps us keep our costs down.
Despite these savings, we do have gardening expenses, and this video gives a quick overview of what we purchased for the garden in 2013.
OYR is all about growing a lot of food on a little land using sustainable organic methods, while keeping costs and labor at a minimum. Emphasis is placed on improving soil quality with compost, mulch, and compost tea. No store-bought fertilizers, soil amendments, pesticides, compost activators, etc. are used.
