I can't claim to have naturally green fingers. What little I know comes from a mix of library books, YouTube videos and trial & error. When you're a newbie there's not only a lack of knowledge to contend with, but also a lack of cash. That can feel like a barrier as it appears as if gardening costs a lot. Bags of compost, packets of seeds, plants pots and trowels and plant markers, a watering can, plant food (yep, you're supposed to fed 'em), not to mention gardening books and magazines ... and the list goes on.
The good news is that you can garden on a budget, upcycling and recycling, providing yourself with cheap and nutritious herbs, salad leaves, tomatoes and all kinds of good stuff. Even if you've virtually no access to your own outdoor space, you can still grow things on sunny windowsills.
This page will be all about growing your own on a budget. I'm assuming you've got little space and little cash. Over autumn and into the chilly winter months I'll blog about what you're going to get up to when spring and summer finally roll around again.
