Easy & Inexpensive Bag Gardening

A couple of years ago, I shared our Easy & Inexpensive Bag Gardening. This is the perfect way to garden in a small area and inexpensively grow your own vegetables. If you live in the desert in Arizona, New Mexico or even Southern California, then you know this is the most perfect time of year weather-wise. We have days in the 70’s and nights in the 50’s. How perfect could that be? When most of you are plowing snow, we are outside. We love a garden with fresh vegetables. Getting one put together in our new home is just now beginning. We had so much to do with remodeling and then a total backyard construction that a garden was put on the sidelines. Now it is time and I am sharing how we are Bag Gardening In The Desert. After the pool was finished, we did a ton of landscaping around this side of the yard. The other side was left pretty bare with just gravel for a while. Hubby has a gazillion potted plants that he LOVES. Me not so much, but I love him, so we manage. We raked out this side of the yard and smoothed out the gravel, planted a tree, and built a small raised garden bed. We checked prices to fill the bed with really good topsoil and it came to $300. Not in my budget at the moment, so hubby came up with the idea of doing bag gardening. Bag Gardening In The Desert is where you buy really great soil in a bag and then plant right in the bag. When this crop is done, we will empty the bags, spread the soil around and repeat. We will eventually have the area full and at a really reasonable price. $10 a bag at a time. I can live with that. At the moment he planted 4 different kinds of lettuce and a tomato plant. Fresh lettuce from the garden makes the most wonderful salads. I love them. This is so easy and so fun, so why not try Easy & Inexpensive Bag Gardening.
