Gardening aficionados say cost savings are possible, but it takes patience and planning.
Donna Balzer spent about $20,000 on a backyard greenhouse, an investment she says made sense after she moved from British Columbia to a smaller home.
Balzer says high-tech gadgets, like probes to gauge soil temperature, aren’t usually wise investments.
She says growing her own food has yielded big savings on her grocery bill, but not right away. “The reality is really you won’t likely save money in your first one to two years of gardening because you’re just learning and acquiring those skills and spending and investing money on building your garden’s health and ecosystem,” Wysocki says. “But if you keep at it for three, five years onward, I do believe and have seen myself that you gradually see the cost savings.”.
