[quote=Anonymous]I'm on an acre. I do nothing for the lawn other than mow it; feel free to class that as environmentally friendly or lazy. Usually mow every other week, but sometimes more frequently during peak growth. See previous statement.

Huge garden -- practically a farmden --  but we do start things from seed, diligently compost, divide bushes, etc.

Riding & walk-behind lawn mower -- maybe $300 - $400 a year in gas/maint/repair.

Seeds - maybe $20? Usually get a bunch of new varieties, plus leftovers from previous years. Tomato seeds from 2016 are coming up nicely.

Assorted other gardening stuff - $300? More expensive because replacing wooden trellises with metal, putting in a couple more raised beds, additional bags of soil.

Wood chips for free from arborists in the area that I flag down. They're happy to drop of a giant pile.

Put in a huge order for about a ten new fruiting bushes and trees - $300.  Another $100 to protect the vulnerable ones from deer. Fortunately, not an ongoing expense. I hope.[/quote]
