RE: Research question

C* N*

I would be interested in finding the magic formula also.  I get stumped
because no two gardens are alike in either size or produce planted.  So if
you have a formula, could you specify those factors?  For example, if a
garden bed is 4 X 8 ft, 4 X 15 or if corn is grown vs lettuce.
