Why It Matters

Recommendations for how to take action

  • How To Start

    Start by planting a few cost-effective crops that’ll be worth the investment. Tomatoes, herbs, and asparagus are good candidates.

  • What Comes Next

    If you want to develop your green thumb, try building (or buying) a raised garden bed. It’ll extend your growing season and improve soil drainage.
