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.

i've really enjoyed some recent reading in
natural farming where the author suggests getting
a wide variety of seeds and broadcasting them in
an area to "ask nature" the question of what it
can do with minimal intervention.

the challenge is to find seeds cheaply enough.
i can often pick up leftovers off the seed racks
for a few pennies.

another challenge is to protect the seeds from
birds and animals so they can have a chance if the
area is arid. he recommends coating them in clay
and various substances to discourage the critters.
not bad ideas if you have the substances or can
get them for cheap. if not, just coating with
clay alone can help enough.
