Curb Appeal for Less

You can dress up the outside of your home with some simple, frugal, and usable plants that will provide curb appeal for less.

Using potting soil, or good soil from your composter, fill several smaller plant pots. Add seeds from a variety of different herbs to the pots according to the package directions. Once the plants begin to grow, plant the pots in your garden by digging a hole the pot will fit in leaving the top band exposed. Once these plants begin to grow, they look beautiful! This is also an easy way to determine weeds from your plantings…if it’s growing outside the pot, it’s a weed. This is so simple, but the frugal aspect is twofold. Firstly, herb seeds and the other components for planting are very inexpensive. But the savings don’t stop there, because you can take clippings from the herbs to use in your cooking saving you from having to buy herbs.

These are my thoughts.
