Just dug up half a row (5m) of Charlottes and got 18kgs worth. Didn't get that from the whole bed last year!
So... should get at least 72kgs per 1.6x10m bed for the total harvest. Commercial growers get an average of 42 tons/hectare, which equals 67kgs per equivalent bed, with all the gubbins like tractors, fertiliser, pesticide, etc, etc, which costs thousands. I have a spade that is older than my grandad and cost £5.
Losers!
Double dig, add 5 barrow loads of muck, plant 6 ins down, earth up until the ridges are at last a foot high, water religiously and keep an eye on the blight. Job done!
Just got to crack the rest of the veg...
