Three budgets. Three complete kits. Only buy what you actually need to start and grow a productive vegetable garden.
These kits are built around 3 principles: (1) don't buy tools you don't need yet, (2) quality tools last 10+ years — cheap ones don't, (3) seeds beat transplants on value every time.
