Landscape with plants that have a low water requirement. Then we can reuse the water to water our garden.

Finding ways to fit organic foods into your budget is really not much different than any other endeavor of frugality. A tomato picked from a local farmer’s tomato plant, for example, will taste a whole lot better than one that’s traveled several thousand miles to reach your local supermarket’s produce section.

History In 2006 I planted fruit trees, in anticipation of retiring and having time to pick and use the harvest. I planted them that fall, a dwarf pie cherry, an Elberta peach, a Lodi apple and a Braeburn apple. Will my tree investment ever pay off? I ordered them from a nursery catalog and paid a total of about $95 for four trees.

Plant your garden so that sunlight can still get into the house, but diffusely, so it isn’t shining directly into the house. Especially helpful is shade that falls on windows and doors.

This is a major expense, but roofs can last from 15 to 30 years depending on the shingle quality and your environment.
