+ We’re following the square foot “method” for our garden, but wanted to save a little money by skipping the cross-hatch pieces that make the squares. Instead, I constructed a temporary version out of strips of cardboard. I use it when I plant and then keep it in the garage until the next time.
+ I planted wildflowers from seed kits that never sold from the old Big White Farmhouse shop. I found them tucked away this winter and couldn’t wait to put them to good use in the front flower beds. I didn’t know what to expect since they were over three years old, but the germination rate still seems to be good! I have little sprouts everywhere.
+ We’re getting a 15% credit on our auto insurance policy due to being stuck at home during the outbreak.
+ As of this writing, we’re still going strong without having to turn on our A/C! I’m grateful for this weirdly cool spring.
+ We had a bit of an ant invasion near our side door. I made a homemade ant killer, which was equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle, and that helped kill the ones in the house. For outside, I made a concoction of equal parts powdered sugar and baking soda in a small, shallow container and it worked within hours.
Your turn! What did you do to save a little money this month?
P.S. I pin frugal ideas to this Pinterest board if you need some inspiration too!
We've been looking into trying the square foot gardening method–I'm curious to see how it works out for you!
I'm loving it so far. It's very neat and orderly, focuses on growing more in less space and you don't seem to waste as many seeds. All things that appeal to my frugal, Type-A personality, ha!
