I need two A4 text pages for each of 11o common crops i.e.220 pages. I have a list of the nominated crops; they are vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts and berries.The theme is how to grow, harvest and sell them (nothing about cooking or recipes).The info is for crops grown in the soil i.e.not about hydroponics.Items to include are:
*time in weeks to grow to maturity; picking, packing, washing considerations paricularly as this affects the labour involved;
*spacing required when planting;
*retail & wholesale price per kg.or per lb.
*size the plants grow to; nutrients taken out of the soil by the plants;
* estimated yield in kgs or lbs per 100sq.ft.or 100 sq.m.
* references to sources of info supplied.
* it would be useful for some crops (particularly tomatoes, cucumbers & lettuce) to comment on the impact on yield & growing season of using a shadehouse or greenhouse.Removed file: Books 110 crops.xlsxAttached file: Books 110 crops in xl97format.xlsTHERE IS AN ERROR in the yield statement--it should read 100sq.ft or 10 sq.metres.
The prices should be in $US in January and July.
With regard to the yield, it is intended that each crop be assessed as growing vin its ideal climate conditions and that these be stated plus any climate limitations such as "cannot handle severe frosts" or "unsuitable in tropical climates."
