Thrifty Thinking: Gardening

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of MyOrganicGardeningBlog.com. All opinions are 100% mine.

One great way to save money is to garden. You can make it even healthier by doing organic gardening - healthier because your garden will be chemical-free, which means it's safer for your kids and pets to be around.

The My Organic Gardening Blog is a collaborative blog written by several experts. They include information on composting, pest control, lawn and landscape, and more. Pest control and fertilization are two areas that often involve chemicals, but they'll show you tips on how to accomplish those tasks just as well with organic methods.

My husband and I have been organic gardening for several years. We've found that it isn't significantly more expensive to use organic methods, and it really does make us feel like we're being a lot more eco-friendly and safer for our daughters. Most of our garden fertilization is accomplished just by using compost (which is a double-duty because we're also reducing waste). For the lawn, we use corn gluten, which is also a chemical-free way to fertilize grass while killing pre-emergent weeds.
