How MUCH SHOULD I PLANT?: to Grow the Right Amount of Food for Your Household

YOUR GARDEN CAN DO MORE WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT IT NEEDS How many tomato plants do you really need? What about beans, carrots, potatoes, peppers, onions, lettuce, or squash? >A family of four does not automatically need the same amount of every crop as another family of four. One household may eat tomatoes several times a week. Another may use only a few throughout the season. One gardener may want fresh vegetables for everyday meals. Another may want extra food for storage, preservation, or sharing. And then there is the garden itself. Limited beds. Limited space. Different crop sizes. Different yields. Different harvest periods. Different growing conditions. So how much should you actually plant? How Much Should I Plant? gives you a practical way to work out the answer. >Inside, you will learn how to: - Determine how much of each crop your household actually uses - Separate everyday crops from those you only eat occasionally - Decide how much food you want your garden to provide - Understand what one plant can realistically produce - Turn household needs into practical planting quantities - Plan quantities for leafy greens, roots, beans, peas, brassicas, fruiting vegetables, alliums, herbs, and many other crops ALSO, YOU'LL GET: 1.
