6. Raised Beds on Budget

For preparing raised beds, you can use bricks—it will be an affordable option. Stone gabions are also great and you can get them for cheap or even free.

You can also make the raised bed from long slender branches by weaving them between stakes and creating wattle fence walls. Cover these walls with burlap for holding the soil— garden cloth can also be used.

Jute bag raised beds are also good—simply fill burlap sacks or jute bags with soil and place them in the sun. Concrete blocks, sandbags, tree trunks, logs, and corrugated steel can also be used to create raised beds.

7. Make Your Own Fertilizer

Do you know that using grass clippings, kitchen scraps, tree leaves, coffee grounds, eggshells, and banana peels, you can make your own homemade fertilizer for growing the tastiest vegetables?

These are organic, work great, are really cheap, and are almost free!

8. DIY Potting Mix

Seed starting or potting mixes are expensive and if you plan to grow multiple plants, then they can be out of your budget.

But don’t worry! The good news is that you can easily DIY at home by using leaf mold, composted wood fiber, cat litter, coco peat, perlite, and cow or horse manure.

9. Use Burlap Sacks

Burklaps sacks are great for growing root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, radish, ginger, and onions. You can also use them to grow lettuce, tomatoes, and peppers as well.

They are cheap and you can also get them for free in some places.

As they are made from the skin of the jute plant, they are also environmentally friendly and biodegradable.

10. Make Your Own Trellis for Climbing Vegetables

Getting a ready-made trellis for climbing vegetables can be a costly affair. Don’t worry! You can make them easily at home using twigs, ropes, bamboo sticks, and plastic poles.
