The garden that gives back “Self-sufficient” gardening? Liken it to “off the grid” when it comes to not relying on anyone but yourself to keep it going. But what does it actually portend? The Spruce’s Nadia Hassani explains how this type of gardening became a buzzword when the pandemic hit and supply chain shortages were in abundance. “While the trend has continued, nowadays, the motivation of gardeners is more often sustainability—and, of course, the unbeatable freshness and taste of homegrown veggies,” she says. But first she explores what experts have to say about the topic. Think of self-sufficient as akin to self-reliant or self-sustaining gardening, but also different from one another, says Hassani. “Self-sufficient gardening produces as many of the fruits and vegetables that a household consumes year-round. These are eaten either fresh during the growing season or stored and preserved by canning, freezing, and drying.” She goes on to say that a garden in itself can be self-sufficient when it relies as little as possible on external materials and supplies. Think compost instead of commercial fertilizer, getting good at saving seeds for planting, and planting companion plants placed for natural pest control. Putting fresh food on the table is always the goal, says gardening and food writer Kris Bordessa, who says there is another hidden bonus: a substantial reduction in your grocery bill. For organic produce, the savings are considerable, as organic food is on average 20 to 30% more expensive than conventionally grown food. “Growing a maximum amount of homegrown produce is also a rewarding experience, and it reverberates long after the harvest is over,” she says.
