Start your Kitchen Garden

Everyone should have a kitchen garden. It is a great way to save money and gardening is an irreplaceable practical skill. It is a form or relaxation or hobby for some, while for others it’s an avid passion. Fortunately, you don’t need to be an expert hobbyist or burning with passion to start your own garden. You don’t have to spend a lot of money either if you keep it small. You can start one with under 50BDS using a potting mix, a small plant and of course, a pot!
