​Let your Backyard make you Money - January 2016

Whilst I was at Uni my husband (then fiancé) and I survived on one income. With a new mortgage we had to find ways to supplement this income as prices of everything were on the up. We sold items on Gumtree which worked very well for us but it was my husband's idea to sell Yukkas. Hardy, water wise plants that were growing like mad in our front garden. These were so easy to remove, pot and look after and before we knew it we were selling roughly five a week at $15 a plant! Our only cost was the 80 cent bucket as the soil was coming from our existing garden. Five years on I am working now but we still sell our Yukkas and the money funds a yearly holiday. So look around your garden and see what you could sell to make you come money. Money truly does grow on trees!!
