Is it really cheaper to grow your own food?

A lot of people will tell you that you can save money by growing your own food. But as someone who’s failed spectacularly at gardening at various times, I can say without a doubt that growing your own food is not free.

So, I decided to put this to the test: Is the cost of growing food really cheaper?

I looked at the cost of establishing a garden from scratch, as well as the annual gardening cost of buying seeds, compost, etc… Then, I looked at what the cost would be just by buying the darn vegetables straight from the grocery store.

The results really surprised me, and will definitely be changing how I choose to grow my own vegetables in the future!
