Look for a consignment shop in town, visit Freecycle web site, or check the Classifieds before you go to the store to buy new. Plant a Garden. Plant three or four things, just to get started.

You might be surprised at the types of plants you can grow in a container garden. Container gardening can be a great way to grow your own food, improving your self-reliance and living more sustainably. Plant your little seeds in the bottom part. Eventually the shell will break down, so you can just plant it outside intact.
