Money Saving Tips (add yours)

I put up a small 10x20 greenhouse clear tarp and set a bench under it. I grow gourmet lettuce, spinach, cherry tomatoes, japanese cucumbers, various peppers and beans. I put them in containers and recycle the media (mixed with kitchen compost and screened to 1/2 inch minus). Very good results for about a year now. The bench and containers minimize snail and other pest worries, but also increase the need for watering. I put three lettuce keikis in a 3 gallon pot, and larger plants in 5-10 gallon pots. This small 5-20 ft bench provides plenty good stuffs for our family.
