End of Year Garden Accounting
Here’s this year’s list of garden costs:
compost - $47.31
fertilizer - $7.00
seeds - $20.10
rebar/fencing - $31.87
winter cover crop seeds: $4.98
soil / peat pots - $4.98
TOTAL: $127.52
So much less than last year’s $375. But I underspent on fertilizer. I think that was a big part of the reason my pumpkins didn’t do better. Compost will probably cost more too because I’m going to give up on ordering it by the yard and will instead buy different types of bagged compost and manure. There will be no fencing costs next year. I already have fencing but the rabbits won’t be free range. I guarantee that.
Two of the rabbits escaped last week. They were out only for a few days, but it was long enough for them to take out almost all of my kale and broccoli. 
Fencing is very important and it is really needed if you have a pet. We do have fence so that our 3 months puppy won’t escape the yard.
