The Year-Long GRS Project: How much does a garden really save?
” During the next year, Kris and I plan to track all of our work and expenses in the yard. I’m not going to tabulate how long it takes to trim the laurel or the boxwood, but I will track the following:
- The cost of seeds and fertilizer.
- Our approximate water usage.
- The time we spend planting, weeding, and harvesting.
- The amount of food we harvest.
- The cost-equivalent from the local grocery store.”
