The Small Commercial Garden: How to Make $10,000 a Year in Your Backyard

The book describes all aspects of a small commercial garden from growing transplants to marketing at a local farmers market. Information is provided on designing and building a high-tech intensively spaced commercial garden. We used raised beds, drip irrigation, and trellises to grow over $16,000 on 1/2 acre in Bismarck, North Dakota.

Special emphasis is placed on the most profitable products, tomatoes and cucumbers. We used cages and high hoops to increase tomato production, and cloches and trellises for cucumbers. Other crops included beans, cabbage, carrots, onions, peas, peppers, and zucchini.

The book is profusely illustrated with over 150 pictures, and over 25 charts and drawings.
