How much does a vegetable garden cost?

Costs to date are $208 which includes all the soil amendments, seeds, fertilizer and the seedlings (tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and a few perennial herbs). I won't need to spend as much next year on soil amendments.
  • Costs for seeds, seedlings and fertilizer: $107 (recurring annually)
  • Costs for soil amendments (compost and spaghum moss) and tools: $101
I hope to have more homemade compost for next year's garden, but will probably still spend about $50 on soil amendments.

Will we get $208 worth of produce out of our little patch (about 150SF)? Stay tuned...

Check it out, we got mentioned over at Public Radio Kitchen.
