Soil composition and nutrition levels, irrigation (or lack of it), insects and other scavengers, diseases, amount of sunlight during your growing season, temperature vairations...there are a ton of variables before you start considering the individual's knowledege, experience and techniques.


Thats what I'm trying to get at. A lot of the examples I see are assuming good soil. It takes a lot more work to make and keep soil good If your planning to live off the land then you need to plan for the worst and not the best because you may not be able to get all the $$ fertilizers and pest control to keep that soil good.
