The 90-Day Plan: DAY 59

DAY 59


Our yards get a lot of use during nice months don't just mow over it, MAKE YOUR YARD WORK FOR YOU.  During WWII backyard gardens grew the same amount of produce commercial agriculture did.  What types of fruits and vegetables can be grown in your area?


Challenge:   What is a Freedom Lawn?  Estimate how much water, time, and money you spend on landscaping.  Is it possible to put that money to better use?

  

Extra Challenge:  Purchase a manual push mower to completely cut lawn care costs.
