How much have you spent on the garden so far this year?

I have spent around £100 and still have a growing wish list!

 

ditto we are also on our 3rd year with the back and side garden ,new extended massive fence ,several tons of rubble dug out and wheel barrowed 500 yards to a neighbour,sandstone wall built,planting being done still stepped wall to build , shed ...

 

now that is a good question
how much have i spent on the garden ?

i think i will take the 5th on this question just in case the OH is lurking lol

 

Yup, gardening is something that you never "finish". There's always a new project or new plants or a rearrangement of existing plants.....ad infinitum. Great, innit?

 

Having been in my present home for the last 27 years my garden is well established and the amount of money spent on my garden is quite small compared to the early years when spending exorbitant amounts on hard landscaping, garden structures, trees, shrubs and plants as well as building up a large collection of garden tools and machinery. To replace everything in the garden would be thousands of pounds.

This year my costs have been around £120.00 mainly spent on compost, plug plants and veg seeds and I consider it is definitely money well spent when I see the results blooming or ending up on my plate.

The only daft thing I bought this year was a pitch fork - this was bought as a knee jerk reaction after seeing a rat in my compost. I think an air rifle would have been more effective.

 

I don't like to think about the cost to much it might just spoil it for me.I have what I want when I want it.
I didn't used to be able to afford it...............It is my passion

About £400 on seeds and plants and compost and pots ect, but I already made £480 on selling plants off the doorstep so in effect nothing

Having moved to our new house almost a year ago, we've had to start from scratch with new shed, greenhouse, coldframe, pond, storage and all the garden tools, pots - everything... it was a few thousand squids and we're still spending.

Hopefully, once we're established, the outlay will drop and there will be a bit more sustainability.
