We started or raised garden by getting old used lumber out of the dump pile--$0
With that wood we were able to make two 4x6 raised garden beds and two flower boxes.
I purchased 10 4gallon buckets off of craigslist for $1 each--$10
In the buckets we planted four tomato plants and three bushes.
Austin and I then found dirt and top soil that someone had dumped in an extra lot near our house that had been just sitting there. So, we loaded the pickup down with dirt--$0
We then purchased our veggies, planting soil and peat moss.-$45
Our total garden adventure--$55.00 bucks---I think Dave Ramsey would be proud.
What we planted:
4 jalapeno plants
8 yellow onions
16 purple onions
3 yellow pepper plants
3 red pepper plants
2 roma tomato plants
2 larger tomato plants
4 zucchini
4 yellow squash
8 garlic
