Raise Three Crops Per Year From One Acre
Virginia Truck Experiment Station director T C Johnson notes some gardeners and truck farmers in Virginia frequently reach 2000 to 3000 dollars per acre annually with two to three crops. A plan allocates lettuce spinach beets cucumbers parsley and eggplants across the acre, requiring prime ground, stable manure 50 to 100 tons per acre per year and 2 to 3 tons of high grade fertilizer. The key to success is knowledge and the person driving the work.
