Money Savings!
How much food does 48sf of greenhouse and about 60sf of outdoor space produce in one year? Since our foray as suburban farmers, I have become very curious to discover these numbers.  The season is early but we have already enjoyed eating four salads and drank  mint drinks-coolmint.  If you live in New York   City, a salad cost approximately six dollars.  While one of those “natural”  Snapple drinks, this will roughly cost you around $2.50.  Grand total of money savings = $68.00 (Investment in Greenhouse/Related Equipment is $650) At this rate being that it is early in the season, we will recoup our investment in less than seven months.  I have been inspired to keep a food log and will keep you posted.
Food Log – 1 month
8 salads - $6
8 cool mint drinks - $2.5
2 Servings of Sweet Basil utilized in a sauce – $3
