How much do you need to plant to feed your family? How many seeds/plants do you need to plant if you want to feed your family fresh produce during the growing season, and then can enough to last the rest of the year. The chart below gives you a good idea of how much of each plant/seed you will need per person, based on picking and eating them fresh. If you plan on Canning or freezing your Veggies to get thru the Winter months, you will need to plant more. I would suggest you multiply the amount list by 4 if you plan to also can. Seeds or plants per 100-ft. row is the recommended amount or number to use for proper spacing and growth. Estimated yield per 100-ft. row is based on optimum growth, so it could be different from Family to Family. If you dont plant in 100-ft rows, then you can divide it down to the size you do plant. IF YOU WANT OPTIMUM YIELDS, YOU WILL WANT TO: 1) Start Off with good Heirloom Seeds (THE SEED GUY) 2) Use a good Compost/Soil mixture 3) Maintain Fertility 4) Provide enough water 4) Use Mulch 5) Control Pests ( insects, and the furry types) Companion Plants are a way to control and deter pests. ** Good Healthy HEIRLOOM SEEDS will make all the difference when you want that Big Yield at harvest time.At THE SEED GUY, we have a great 60 Variety Heirloom Seed package that contains 26,000 Heirloom Seeds, all Non GMO, and each variety is individually packaged and then put in a 10 x 14 silver mylar bag.
