 >I would appreciate some figures or estimates from gardeners,  
individual or
communal, re the time it takes to produce how much food.


Ted, at one time I had a 3 m x 3 m garden. It took a lot of work to  
set it up because it was on sterile clay fill, but I used a no-dig  
method and in effect built topsoil from compost. Once it was  
established, it yielded all the vegies for a family of two adults and  
two little children all the year around, for about half an hour of  
work per day.
	This was in Dandenong, near Melbourne.
