I save most of my seeds and buy super good seeds from the Ukraine for cheap, also do all my garden work with a hoe, shovel and 5-tine fork. Just dug another 15 pounds of the sweetest carrots, not at all like the tasteless ones you get at the grocery store. I mulch with leaves and old hay that are free. One bag of organic fertilizer lasts two years. We give a lot of extra produce away every year. Had to start selling some garlic to get rid the extra. Masanobu Fukuoka and Ruth Stout were my inspirations for low labor gardening. Did I mention I’m pretty lazy?
I spent approximately $500 on a raised bed and grew like, idk, less than 20 cherry tomatoes. (I wasn’t doing it for money, but still.)
