In this video, I share how to get cheap plants for your garden when buying transplants! The cost of vegetable transplants has skyrocketed recently, making buying plants from stores hard to afford. In this video, I share 3 tips to get cheap transplants for a fraction of the price at big box stores. Don’t get ripped off and do this, instead!
While it is always cheapest to start transplants from seed, this isn’t always feasible for everyone. Don’t let high prices at big box stores stop you from starting a vegetable garden. These tips can help you save money starting a garden at transplanting time.
