True, home vegetable gardening is a hobby... the definition of a

shows a profit it's called a business... no way a home vegetable
garden saves money.


we save between $500-$1500/yr in food costs.

so yes, there is a way...

This is one of Brooklyn's little bugbears. Because he can't save money from
his veges therefore nobody else can either. In reality the outcome is most
variable. Some people pour money into it and get very little return and
some people spend little and get much. It's a matter of skill and
situation.
