"[This is] just a regular recipe of a sustainable lifestyle," the creator said at the start of the video.

The scoop

By harvesting the seed heads of the carrots and sprinkling them back around the garden bed, you can have a never-ending growth of carrots that can save money and time. 

"I take all those [seed heads], and I just start to sprinkle them around a bit," the gardener explained. He added that the only thing to pay attention to is continually harvesting the carrots so that they don't overcrowd the garden bed. You can use the hack again and again. 

"But again, this is just nature's design," the gardener said. 

How it's helping

There are a few ways this hack supports a healthy garden, endless harvest, and a glorious critter oasis. 

The gardener moved back the stems of the carrots to show the many critters crawling within the dirt, indicating a thriving ecosystem. A healthy ecosystem produced by this indigenous hack means you don't have to spend as much money on store-bought carrot seeds. It also means a significant slash in your grocery budget. 

When it comes to growing your food, we estimate that just a small investment of about $70 can yield $600 of produce a year, "all of which will taste better because you grew it yourself."

To save money this way, start with investing in cost-effective, low-effort crops. This creator showcased just how easy it is to grow carrots, making those seeds a great way to start. Incorporating ingenious hacks such as a raised garden bed will give you an even more sustainable and cost-effective crop rotation.
