The amount of money spent to achieve the same results. The truth is that gardening is actually more productive when the cheapest — even free — materials are used in the pursuit. Control weeds Newspaper. It is cheap and works beautifully. Cover the area with 10 layers of newspaper, and then spread mulch or compost over the top. Plant whatever you like by poking a hole in the paper for the seed or plant. Homemade weedkiller. Dissolve 2 cups of salt in 1 gallon of white vinegar, and add 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap. Apply it with a spray bottle. Caution: Repeated use will sterilize the soil such that even- tually nothing will grow. Ideal for driveways, paths and walkways. Keep cats out Pepper. Sprinkle the garden with ground black pepper or red pepper flakes. Purchase it in bulk at a ware- house club, and apply it liberally to the affected area. Plant flowers. Marigolds have a pungent odor that repels cats, bugs and other animals. Plant them in your vegetable and flower gardens. Feed lawn When mowing, leave grass clip- pings on the lawn. The clippings decompose quickly, adding nutri- ents to the soil.

When you need to remove compost, open one side like a door. Control pests Snails and slugs. Sink aluminum pie pans or other shallow dishes into the soil so the rims are flush with the ground.
