Budget gardening

Welcome to the 29 August 2008 Friday Bulletin

Spring is almost here, the sun is shining for longer and bushes are starting to bud. With money tight for many, getting your garden in order may not be first and foremost on your list of things to do. In Gardening on a budget, our gardening guru, Teena Crawford, explains how to add style to your garden without breaking the bank. If you’re lucky enough to have fruit trees or a veggie patch with an abundance of produce, don’t let it go to waste, get it collected by someone who can make good use of it. Or maybe, if you’ve always fancied having your own little produce patch but lack space, this week’s Bookshelf online explains how to grow your own food in one square metre.
