Coda does really valid points, from experience starting up a vegetable garden is quite expensive and another thing you've gotta factor in is animals(feral and domesticated) ruining your garden. We had a dog dig under the fence and eat about $30 worth of corn, and a drunk aboriginal woman fall into all the peas and beans. So in short we were out of pocket about 80-100 which is including the fertilizers and water, and we didn't even use any pesticides which are quite expensive as well which is another thing you have to factor in is loss of stock due to spoilage.

It is a good idea as a small project if you've got the space especially where I live because the soil is perfect for growing things. So if you are wanting to set up like tank water and a garden it's better to do things like carrots and potatoes first as they're something used to thicken meals, don't try and do a whole big garden at first as you do have to trial and error what will actually grow in your climate.

Oh I should add, my mum's been trying to make a herb garden for years and they keep dying for no reason. Yet I yanked some wild basil out of the ground and it lived for like a year >.>
