Growing a Bountiful Garden on a Budget | Carrie Wilson of The Little Pallet Farmhouse

Many people discount themselves from growing a successful garden because they think they don’t have the time, space, money, or skill. Carrie of The Little Pallet Farmhouse is here to break down all of our preconceived notions about gardening being unattainable due to these barriers. The truth is that gardening can be simple, inexpensive, and successful, even for a beginner. As many are gearing up for the upcoming spring/summer season, come chat all things gardening with us!
In this episode, we cover:
- The tragic diagnosis that led Carrie to pursue health through food
- Starting small when you are overhauling your food sourcing
- Why you don’t have to be an expert to take responsibility for your own health
- How to get started with gardening even if you have limited time, space, and budget
- Deciding what to grow and how to get it started
- Foolproof seed-starting setup for a new gardener
- Thinking through the garden infrastructure that works best for you
- Sourcing and maintaining optimal soil
- Choosing plants that you can use beyond the kitchen

I keep a rabbit mainly for garden manure. I add mowed leaves & compost from my pile. I have a large compost pile made with cinder block walls.

This topic about food really intrigues me. Titus always says, if you want organic food, you have to grow it. He sprays organic acres all the time.🥹 Love her spirit.❤️
