This is not intended as "how to grow all your food you ever need at home".

It merely provides the vegetables.

You still have to get your grains (and therefore the majority of your calories) from somewhere else.

An acre is 43560 and a tenth of that is 4356.

Sigh, imperial measurements. I forgot it was 208x208', I had calculated it at 200x200'.

Seriously, imperial measurements are just awful.

If you don’t fight it and accept that imperial is designed with base 12 and not base 10, everything makes more sense. Measurements across all of imperial are to be cut into 12, 6, 4, 3, or 2.

Sometime base 12 works really nicely, especially outside of a lab, when you want to be able to have as many options for division easily as possible.

Decimals work for me.

At least they teach Americans how to do proper conversions.
