While it it true that what you are selling is time
(and knowledge I hope), what the magazine is buying is space. They don't care
how many hours you spend, they figure how much it will cost to fill a page
with print and pictures. So, sure, figure out your time investment. But if your
hours are worth more to you than a page of text (by the word) is to the
publisher, there's no deal.
When it comes to garden writing, it's a buyer's
market.
