You are missing the point.

It's not about your shop. It's about everyone making their own furniture... which doesn't scale and isn't feasible.

This is a totally specious argument. Everyone doesn't have to make 100% of their own furniture any more than every one has to grow 100% of their food.

If I make two chairs it's more efficient than 1 chair and I only need to spend maybe 70% more time than 1, not 100% I sell/barter one chair to my neighbor, who, because they have grown 6 tomato plants instead of 4 (at most 10% more of their labor), has excess tomatoes and gives me some in exchange.

Bro I think you are vastly overestimating the produce yield of a homegrown tomato plant let alone 6

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Two tomato plants far exceeded what we needed. We sacrificed the remainder to the possums and birds.

Right congratulations, you had 2 extra low iron and vitamin deficient mini tomatoes

The harvest was too much, presumably not too much for the entire year.
