Resource Spreadsheet -- The Super Garden Calculator

I built this tool to help me wrap my head around what I needed to do to produce all the food needed for my family and 2 dogs.

Fortunately, the dogs love Zuchinni of which I had 10 plants.

This spreadsheet provide information on number of plants needed, customizable for number of people, and a "like" factor based on whether you want more of a vegetable or less.

It also gives you plant spacing data, and plant height so you can plan your layout (tall stuff goes to north side)

And it calculates the total square footage needed, including room for walkways and tools and such.

No wonder the neighbors call me "Super Garden Guy" LOL

Enjoy, I will maybe improve this spreadsheet in spring.    Bottom line...it worked, besides buying occasional protein (chicken, milk, beer) this garden did achieve the goal of producing all our food.

I think I saw some TSA drones over the garden (Tomato Surveillance Agency)

How much to plant for a year of food

Planting timeframes et al
