I did a little research first to determine the different cultures of plants per square meter and second, the value (organic supermarket prices USD) has to produce the crop. Because I'm a city dweller with a relatively small space for my garden (30 to 35 square feet) make decisions about what to buy in the supermarket and grow in the garden can be a money saver.
Now from the results below you can see the winners to produce more value per square meter, a lot of vegetables / herbs (cilantro, lettuce, chives, dill, chard) next, many of the larger plants tomato vine (squash, pumpkin , pea), with many of the plants roots take up the rear. Now much of this makes sense, where many of the plants that grow on the vine trellises and allowed to spread, which I think is kind of cheating a square foot rule, but I'll let it slide. Comparison with root plants whose production is completely dependent on the space allowed in the area that has to grow, as these items are generally cheaper to start producing.
wow... looks great...and thanks for detailed information

ReplyDeletewhat about your experience?
ReplyDeleteVery nice. We used to grow herbs and strawberries indoors in our apartment, but since moving to the country we're going to start a greenhouse this winter and plant a much larger plot outdoors.
ReplyDeleteGrowing your own crops at home is the best thing you can do aside from whipping up home-made meals for your family. Not only are you saving money, but you can be sure your vegetables and fruits are clean and well grown.
