The cost of groceries continues to rise, and many families are seeking new ideas to lower their costs at checkout. Using $3.50 as a conservative retail price for an average item of fresh produce, you could save up to $1,120 in the first year alone.
Every penny you save goes right to your pocket and the value harvesting brings to your household is priceless.
320 ITEMS X $3.50 = $1,120
This calculation is based on an average price for fresh produce. Simply change the average price, and see how much you'll save.
Lettuce, kale, green onion, bok choy, okra, and many other plants can be harvested in as little as two months. Tomatoes, garlic, peppers, squashes and other plants will take longer.
Many of our growers have a mixed variety of produce growing all year long, mixing with shorter and longer growing periods, so they always have something to harvest.
As you get into the habit of growing and harvesting produce all year long, you might notice a difference in how fresh your own veggies are, and even notice the difference in taste compared to what you might buy at the grocery store.
You'll find out what you prefer to grow. You might even experiment with produce you wouldn't typically find in a grocery store! Many of our growers use the Nutritower to prepare their summer outdoor garden, and transplant some plants back to the Nutritower in the Fall to extend their growing time!
Our community of growers from all levels of gardening experience share their tips & tricks over on the Facebook Community Page!
