Breakeven Gardeners

Owner: Administrator

Group members: 1

Description:

A group devoted to furthering the concept of 'breakeven' gardening, a concept in which very small scale home gardeners can lower their cost and increase their yield to a point approaching, equaling or possibly even bettering the total that their gardening expenses could buy at the supermarket.

Some of the strategies to study include

  • Best yielding crops per dollar on small scale
  • Swapping crops between home gardeners to allow certain gardeners under certain conditions to grow that which they are most inclined to grow and best at growing.
  • Purchasing seeds, soils, containers, pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers etc in bulk by agreeing to split the costs of bulk orders.
  • Succession planting
