[Community_garden] Research Inquiry: Intensive Gardening Part 2 Dervaes

[Sharon Gordon]

An additional point of reference.  The Dervaes family has 3900 square feet
of their yard planted intensively using a mix of intensive, square foot,
vertical, and permaculture strategies.  They have mixed plantings focused on
fresh fruits and vegetables with few grains, dry beans, or starches (they
buy them from a food co-op).. They grow over 6000 pounds of food per year
which gives them a square foot yield of close to 1.5 pounds per square foot.
See their journal/blog for inspiring pictures.
