Things You'll Need:
- pots
- potting soil
- eggs
- seeds (such as sage, basil, eggplants, etc)
- plant markers
- gardening gloves
-
Step 1
Before you begin, drill 5 or 6 1/4 inches drainage holes in the bottom of any pots that don't have them.
-
Step 2
The size of your pot depends on the size of your plants. For example: 20 inches diameter pots work well for tomatoes and eggplants and 4 inch pots are usually good for herbs.
-
Step 3
Fill the pot with 2 inches of potting soil.
Place one uncracked raw egg in the pot -- it will serve as natural fertilizer.
Cover with soil. -
Step 4
Using your finger, create five or six holes about 1 inches deep. Put new seeds in the holes. Another economic way is to save the seed of any veggie that you have bought from the supermarket and save them so you do not have to buy the seeds.
-
Step 5
After planting, make sure to keep the soil moist to the touch.
-
Step 6
In no time, you will have a garden wherein you can enjoy and save some of that grocery money!

on 9/12/2009 That's so cool. I can't afford planting soil so I'll just use my back yard dirt from my apartment? Hope that's okay... I love the whole egg idea and i guess you can't get salmonella or whatever because that germ dies in four days!! THANK YOU!!
