Re: Garden plot size

**<s*@columbus.rr.com>**

  Jason,

  This is from Ohio State University Extension Master Gardener materials:

  A 400 sq. ft. garden (20 X 20) requires a minimum of ½ hour per day early
in the season. In late spring and summer, at least ½ hour every 2-3 days.

  Obviously there are lots of variences, but people may want to keep this in
mind when choosing plot sizes.  Having a 20 X 25' home garden for many
years, it seems pretty accurate.

  We are stardust *million year old carbon* we are golden *caught in the
devil's bargain* and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden .  .  .

  > Can anyone share what the optimal individual plot size is for a
community garden?  We have 22 acres to work with but I'm hoping to designate
an appropriate plot size (length and width) in feet prior to allocating
plots.
