- Banana peels, vinegar, and coffee grounds are often recommended as natural fertilizers.
- Dollar Tree sells four packs of seeds for $1.25.
- Try a vertical planter like Amazon’s Mr. Stacky 5 Tier Stackable Planter, $35 to make more use of a small space.
- Use netting like the Garden Netting Pest Barrier, $8, from Amazon to keep away bugs that eat your vegetables.
- Try sacrificial planting to reduce the use of pesticides and keep pests away from your garden. Deliberately growing certain plants to attract agricultural pests can keep them away from the plants you want to protect. Examples include marigolds, lavender, catnip, and chives.
- For pesky weeds in your garden, the Grampa’s Weeder – The Original Stand-Up Weed Puller Tool with Long Handles, $45, from Amazon is a helpful tool you can use without having to bend over.
“This has hands down been my favorite purchase lol digs a hole AND removed the weeds around it lol,” another added.
Among the commenters was one person who suggested buying an extension to avoid neck strain, and another saying the “brilliant” idea could be used to plant bulbs.
Brian Davenport previously shared with The U.S. Sun his lazy gardeners’ guide.
He recommended investing in perennial plants as they require little attention and regrow every spring.
He said lawn care also doesn’t have to be a “mammoth task” as he recommended aerating the ground to improve drainage.
Davenport said topsoil can be used to achieve growth in sparse areas.
