Your Backyard's Potential ROI
7 million more American households plan to grow their own fruits, vegetables, herbs, or berries in 2009 than in 2008 — that's a 19% increase. Last year, American amateur gardeners spent $2.5 billion on seeds, plants, fertilizer, tools, and other supplies to grow their own food. The National Gardening Association estimates that an average "well-maintained food garden" yields a $500 return on investment.
