Who doesn’t prefer the taste of homegrown vegetables compared to the ones you can buy at the supermarket? There’s just something about the time and love that goes into growing a vegetable garden that makes them taste that much more delicious. Not to mention, gardening is just downright fun!
If you’ve ever wanted to grow your own garden but didn’t know where to start (or if you are on a tight budget), start by following these seven crafty tips. They will not only help you grow tasty vegetables and herbs but also fragrant flowers or adorable succulents. The best part is, everything that is needed can be found right in your own home and will only take you minutes to make.
DIY Watering Jug
First things first, you can’t grow anything without plenty of water! Keep your plant babies nice and hydrated with this DIY watering jug. Dig through your recycling bin to find any medium to large size jug (milk or orange juice would do the trick) and simply drill holes into the cap for maximum pouring capabilities.
Soak Seeds
For quicker germination once your seeds are in the ground, it is suggested that you soak them prior to planting. Just like you would soak your beans before cooking, all you need to do is let your seeds sit in a shallow bowl of warm water. Instead of a bowl, you will just grab a mason jar out of the kitchen cabinet, pour in your seeds, and let soak for 8-12 hours.
Pro tip: purchase or make a sprouting lid to turn your seeds into edible sprouts for salads and other dishes.
