Goals

The goals of this project is to try and get as much as one could out of a garden with the smallest cost possible.

What I started with as of Jan 21 2012:
Broccoli Seeds : $ 0.96
Cucumber Seeds: $1.07
Lettuce Seeds: $.85
Onion(red) Seeds. $.96
Jalapeno seeds:$. 96
Tomato seeds: $1.07

Organic Potting Soil : about $5

So adding in taxes, My amount comes to $10.87


Now in the garden already, I have a verma-composting, and a regular composter which will hopefully help with the quality. I also have a rain barrel which will cut costs in watering the plants I put in pots.

So far, we started seeds in a tray with small individual boxes for them to grow in and we used up the whole tomato packet and used about half of the rest of them. In about two weeks they should germinate and a couple weeks after that, once they have 2 sets of true leaves, I will plant them.
