Need Home and Garden Help? Try Bartering

Everyone has a talent that you do well to earn. On the other hand, everyone needs something that they cannot get or do for themselves. If you put these two together in an equal relationship, you have a relationship. When I lived in the country, I rented everything constantly. I wanted goats, and I had no use for the field, so my neighbor put goats in my field, and I took four goats out of the pasture. If you need help with home or garden chores, there are ways to exchange them with what you have. What can you do?

Find Barters on Online Sites

I also like to get things from Freecycle (www.freecycle.org) or Craigslist and trade them for something I want or need. I got 4 nice items from Freecycle that I bought because I pressure cleaned my house.

To know what fair trade is

I’ve always felt like it’s a charming interaction where both sides feel like they’re getting what they set out to get. If you start looking at time and dollar signs, things get messy. You’re never going to do exactly the same amount of trading unless you change the hours. If you fall a little short in one, you will be victorious in another. It all works out in the end.

Patience is a virtue in business

You may wait for someone to come to him who will make a deal for you. Trading up is something that takes a planning. I had someone offer me a service for something I didn’t have, so I plan to exchange what they wanted for something else until I had it. And sometimes a person will have what they want elsewhere, and you will lose and push for something that you traded for, but in the end, you will have all the work that you need.

Never be afraid to ask if someone has sold you what you need. Mom and Pop businesses are the best places to start.

  • Every afternoon I went to the local grocery store and helped her in exchange for a box of fruit that she would throw away. We are still friends today.
  • I helped people clean their patio area with plants outside. My first exchange like that got me $300 worth of expensive bromeliads for half a day’s work.

Make a list of what you know you are good at or what you should start trading and shopping for home and garden goods and services today. You will be glad you did.
