Cost per square foot—
Beginner tip: The classic overspend is tools — a trowel, a hoe, and a hose cover 90% of year one. Put your money into soil and seeds first; fancy gear can wait until you know what you actually reach for.
How it’s figured
Every dollar here is yours — this tool stores no prices and guesses nothing. Your total is the plain sum of the amounts you enter. Cost per square foot is your total divided by the garden size you enter, and only appears when you enter a size. The top-3 list ranks your categories by their summed spending. There is no “should cost” benchmark here, because real costs swing wildly by region, garden size, and ambition.
