Sourcing Free Garden Supplies

Free garden supplies! 🪴

🌳 Chip Drop @chipdrop (not spon- I just love it!)
A couple of notes about Chip Drop, you have the option of paying the arborist’s fee on Chip Drop (I do!) or adding extra on, but it is not required. Chip Drop also doesn’t guarantee a drop in any specific time frame- my first drop took a couple weeks, but this latest one just took two days from when I requested it!

🏡  @nextdoor, Craigslist, and FB Marketplace are all a great way to search for free garden supplies! When I checked my NextDoor app I saw free garden pots, herbs, and veggie starts!

🪵 Pallets are incredibly versatile! You can tear them apart to build with or use them as-is for fencing. Just make sure that you get pallets that aren’t treated with harmful chemicals that can leech into your soil. If the pallets are new check for the labels DB, KD, EPAL, or HT which means that they are either untreated or kiln dried.

☕️ @starbucks had a great program that gives out used coffee grounds in large bags as fertilizer! It’s a great way to add nitrogen back into your soil!
