Is growing your own lettuce at home really worth it? With the help of my team member, Sydney, I’m going to break down the actual price of buying grocery store salad versus growing your own.
Growing your own salad includes getting set up with a small raised bed, organic soil, seeds, and water. So how much salad do you have to grow (and eat) to break even? What about to SAVE money on grocery store visits?
These numbers are going to surprise you. They may even change the way you eat salad forever! Tell us in the comments what price comparison you’d like to see next!
