How to Save Money with Garden Tasks

How to save money with garden tasks - well we can all do with a few extra quid and here’s an easy way to do just that and save money.

This is the time of year when jobs in the garden need doing, like pruning bushes and large overhanging branches etc.

But think ahead, when you cut off any decent size branches – is the stem fairly straight? If yes, tidy it up by cutting off any straggly side shoots and save the long stems / branches for use as posts, canes and props in the garden next year.

This year I made a couple of wigwams for my green beans out of large stick pruning from last year, gathered and tied together at the top with a bit of salvaged string – worked a treat and looked great too.

Saves money not having to buy new bamboo canes.
