Frugal gardening ideas for frugal times [View all]
The purpose of this thread is to discuss ideas for a frugal garden(s) that provide a significant portion of one's or a family's food needs and incorporate those ideas into your gardening routine so in case there arises a situation where one cannot get food from the local stores or gas for power garden equipment or even seeds in the spring or early summer, you are already acclimatized to gardening in such a way that if things got bad, it really wouldn't affect your gardening so that'd be one less stresser to deal with.
It's understood that there is no one plan that fits all and everybody's situation, needs and capabilities are different and it's also understood that the vast majority of us simply don't have the land, stamina and skills to produce a large quantity of a wide variety of foods. But the idea here is to maximize what one does have to produce some basics and to do it a frugally as possible.
