In the lockdown era where supply chain issues had grocery stores running on empty, interest spiked around the idea of growing your own food. With concerns about the environment, the cost of groceries, and the desire for fresh, healthy produce, many people are beginning to turn to "urban farming" as a way to feed themselves and their families.
For many novice gardeners, the process can be overwhelming, especially if you're like me and want to try multiple varieties of the same crop. How do I coordinate all of the different planting schedules? How much space do I need for all the seeds I purchased? Will there be enough time in the season to get a harvest at all? These questions, if not properly considered, can make or break your growing season.
That's where plannt.ca comes in. With this helpful tool, users can easily plan and organize their garden, do more with their space and track the tasks needed to grow a successful crop. And this year, I'm going to prove that plannt.ca can pay for itself – and then some – with the food it helps you grow.
Over the course of the year, I'll be documenting my progress as I use plannt.ca to plan and cultivate my own garden. Each blog post will focus on a different aspect of the home-grown-veggie life, from sowing the first seeds to making recipes using my own home-grown food. I'll share tips and tricks I've learned along the way, as well as updates on the progress of my crops.
But the real goal of this series is to prove out the financial benefits of growing your own food. I'll be keeping careful track of the amount and variety of produce I'm able to harvest (thanks to plannt.ca's helpful harvest logging feature!), and at the end of the year, I'll calculate my total grocery savings based on the current market value of that produce.
My hope is that by sharing my experience, I can inspire others to try their hand at gardening and show them that it's not only good for the environment and your health, but also your wallet. And for those who are already avid gardeners, I hope to offer some new insights and ideas for maximizing the value of your harvest.
So whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, stay tuned for my blog posts this year as I explore the world of gardening and its many benefits – including the financial ones.
