Your school has created a vegetable patch that is 10m x 3m and they are going to plant one vegetable crop that will make the most profit after harvest.
Task:
After researching five vegetables, develop the most profitable garden that details your exact garden layout with your selected vegetable. You are allowed to spend up to $20 to help purchase the seeds.
Points to consider:
- What is the current market price for your vegetables ?
- How many seeds will fit in the patch allowing for the recommended vegetable spacing?
- What is the expected yield from your vegetable seeds ?
Print out summary sheet.
Research your 5 selected vegetables using the summary sheet to help organise your information.
The first three websites can be used to help you with your vegetable seed information, whilst Greengrocer.com will be useful in finding market prices.
Select one vegetable crop that will return the most money after harvest.
