Buying plants can be better than growing them: The main pros

Some people are subconsciously convinced that growing plants is cheaper and more practical than buying them.

That's not always the case, so if you feel that just buying what you need is easier, then you might be right.

Here are some examples of how buying crops can be better.

Convenience

Buying vegetables from grocery stores or local markets is convenient, as you have a wide variety of options readily available. 

You can choose from fresh produce, pre-cut and pre-packaged options, and even organic or specialty items.

Time and Effort

Buying vegetables requires minimal time and effort. 

You can simply visit a store, select the vegetables you need, and bring them home. 

This option is suitable for individuals with busy schedules or those who don't have the time or resources to maintain a garden.

Cost

The cost of buying vegetables can vary depending on factors such as seasonality, location, and the type of produce. 

Sometimes, store-bought vegetables can be more cost-effective, especially when considering factors like seed costs, soil, fertilizer, water, and gardening tools.

Quantity

You can buy just a bit of different kinds of vegetables, so they don't rot. 

The harvest is often more than you need, and some of the vegetables have to be distributed or thrown away.
