Not enough time 2 garden, time is money

One of the main objections to behavior change from thinking about gardening to actually doing it, is time.  More so, the false assumption that there is simply not enough time to do the actual gardening.

Let's break down this time:

1. Decide what you want to grow: tomatoes.  Time: 5 seconds.
2. Find a store-you have seen them at Home Depot, Lowe's, or Bachman's.  Time:0.          
3. Buy the tomatoes and dirt on your way home from work.  Time: 30 mins.
4. Find a container: plastic milk jugs, containers from old plants, boxes, etc. Time: 20 mins.
5. Plant the tomatoes: make drainage holes, fill with dirt, insert the plant.  Time: 20 mins.

Total time including some watering: 90 mins, 1.5 hrs.

Time is money: let's say you want to pay yourself for this time:
1. One tomato plant average production: 10-15 lbs, per Arizona Master Gardener Manual.
2. Cost of 10-15 pounds: 30-45 dollars, assuming $3/lb.

It's a clean living, when you're making $20-30/hr and enjoying fresh tomatoes, at home!
