Garden Bailout!
The Money Garden

Tuesday February 24, 2009
Would you like a money garden? According to W. Atlee Burpee & Co., a home vegetable garden “...will result in a 1 to 25 cost-savings ratio. In terms even I can understand, that means $50 in seeds and fertilizer can produce $1,250 worth of groceries purchased at a supermarket. Where else can you get that kind of return on your money or your time?

Today I’m kicking off my "Start a Vegetable Garden" campaign with a chat I had with Burpee President, George Ball, Jr. The Burpee company has been toying with the idea of presenting a money saving vegetable garden package and they’re launching it this spring. Guess what they called it? The Money Garden. How can you not want a money garden?

If you’ve been toying with the idea of starting a vegetable garden this year or simply making the one you have more efficient, take a look at Burpee’s Money Garden and all the money you could be saving. Then stay tuned for how to start a vegetable garden.
