I'm trying to decide if it's worth pursuing trying to earn a little extra money with what would probably best be described as scaled-up gardening. I've got maybe an acre total that I can use (without clearing more space, I have 11 total).
I tried growing about 1/4 acre this year mostly as an experiment, to see what sort of yields I can get. I did a lot of peppers, since they grow really well in my area, but expanding my results to an acre puts me making maybe $2000/year gross based on the yields I had. Doesn't seem to be worth it.
I'm wondering if anyone has had any success supplementing their income with this small of a space, and what crops and/or techniques did you use?
