Summary: I recently received a new copy of one of the many Garden Supply Catalogs in the mail. While looking through it, I saw a couple of innovative Ideas I wanted to try, but was appalled at the price. As I paged through the issue I began to see how so many first time gardeners can get the impression that gardening can be expensive. So this week I will go through a short list of just a few of the items I found and talk about how you can easily create these same items with only a little “do it yourself” even if not handy with tools. While all these gadgets are nice, there is no need to purchase unless you want to and have the resources. I would rather put my funds into new seed varieties and garden books. Let me know what you think.
