Towards  that end...does anyone on the list have any  
statistics or thoughts  on how much space it would take for a family of four

grow their  own greens?  I think we need to tell the readers how much space  
it  
takes, how many months of production to expect and how to rotate varieties  
to  
accomodate the seasons

I haven't seen that data very often but one that did was the Square  Foot 
Gardening guy.  If I recall he went into detail about how many of this  or that a 
family of X would need and how often you would need to replant.   This was, 
of course, critical to the rotation of crops in that method.
