I don't know, but I grew a years worth of garlic (fresh) and tomatoes (canned) on about 400 square feet (0.009 acres?) of composted and mulched soil this past year. My limitation is sun, due to so many trees nearby. But I would definetly believe the figures that it doesn't take a whole lot of land to live well. At 2 dollars per pound for tomatoes at the store, we racked in a couple hundred dollars worth...it was a good tomato year in the east. Weather and access to water is also another variable in acreage numbers. A greenhouse or sunroom will also do wonders in lengthening the season. Dan nw NJ |
