If you have immediate plans of setting up a container garden, it is important for you to plan your upfront budget for your jug garden. Since urn gardening may involve some expense, you should intelligently make your budget. Here are few tips which may help you in building an affordable pot garden.

1)         The prime attention should be given to seeds. Buying seedlings or plants can turn out to be expensive. Instead, you can buy seeds that may be comparatively cheap till you become more confident of your gardening capabilities and are more willing to spend more.

2)         You should try to select small plants which are generally cheaper. Make sure to select healthy and stout seedlings and begin building your pot garden with smaller seedlings. Besides watering, there is no necessity to keep a check on their growth till the pots are filled with grown up plant.

3)         To keep a control on your budget, you can start with herb plants which are light on the pocket and can be used in the kitchen too.

6)         You can save money by creating your own compost. You may get maximum benefit if you have the space for setting up your own compost. All kitchens give out “Kitchen waste”. Use this kitchen waste for making excellent compost for your bottle garden.

7)         You can economize on containers when there is a great sale. You can find great offers and find attractive pots at half the price.

        Another great idea for growing a budget container garden is using junk from your loft for your container garden. Old bottles jugs, buckets, tins and boxes; these all look cute too and are a great money saving option. Just use a transparent pot or a ceramic pot which have been lying unused for several years. Fill it with earth and plant the seed. Your urn garden is ready in a jiffy.

It is important that you don’t go overboard while building your bottle garden. You should make a budget for it and stick to it. There is no point in investing in expensive pots and jars and buying expensive seed and samplings. Whatever is available in your home nearly suffices to build a small container garden for your home. All that you need is a little imagination and creativity to be surrounded by nature through out the year.
