Raised garden beds are particularly helpful for those with limited outdoor space and poor soil quality. Costs can vary significantly and depend on design, material, and size. Options vary from an inexpensive plastic pot to custom raised beds built from cedar or composite lumber. Trellises for climbing plants are also quite common for both form and function. Trellises are made of wood, bamboo, or metal each with a different cost.
Gardening Tools
Again, the total cost here will depend on the size and scope of your vegetable garden. Essential tools for getting started would include a wheelbarrow, rake, shovel, hose or water can, pruners, hand fork and a trowel. High-quality tools will cost more up front but last longer. Consider borrowing or renting tools to save money as well.
Irrigation System
Having a reliable water source is vital for the success of your vegetable plants. This could be as simple as a water can or as complex as an automated sprinkler system. For your first vegetable garden, start small with simple tools.
