If you’re anything like me, walking into a garden center is a dangerous affair for your bank account. Even though plants aren’t particularly pricey in the larger scheme of things, it takes a lot of them to fill an entire garden. Plus, when there are so many to choose from, it’s impossible to leave your favorites behind.
Luckily, there is an essential gardening skill that can cut these costs dramatically. Once you get the hang of propagating your own plants, you can literally fill your backyard for almost nothing. If you take cuttings from your friends and neighbors, it can even be completely free.
