Victory Garden: Heavy Investing in Agricultural Futures


It turns out gardening isn’t cheap. Recently TWSF (That's What She Fed) went to the Home Depot to upgrade our solo cup nursery and prepare for the big move outside on May 15th. The startup costs of this investment are quickly adding up. In the last post TWSF said that we were going to "stick it to the Man" by growing our own vegetables, but I guess he’s called the Man for a reason. I am becoming concerned that economies of scale are not tipped in our favor and my mouth may have approved a mortgage that my ass will quickly default on. To get a grasp on the return on investment required to win the battle against supermarket tyranny, I dusted off my engineering finance skills and did a little break-even analysis.
