I'm trying to decide on how much room I should dedicate to salad greens, like lettuce, collards, and Kale/tree kale. I'm wondering if anyone has a general ratio of plants to people?
I have 202 square feet of planting space, and I have a bed that's 3 feet by 24 (72 square feet) feet long and I'm just wondering how much of that bed would you dedicate to salad greens? I'm not sure how big of a fan I am of it, but I'm trying to decide if I should make myself eat them since they are so nutrient dense. It's just so hard to dispute not eating them, so I'm thinking about trying to get a livelier choice of greens going. I have currently 1 collard green, spinach, Kale, roquette and arugula. So far I'm not liking the roquette as it has like a... nutty flavor and then bad after taste too me (but then again it is starting to bolt), if the after taste wasn't there I'd probably be okay with it. I haven't tried the Kale/collards/arugula, they haven't gotten super big yet so I'm letting them go right now. But I am going to probably heavily plant tomatoes, and peppers this season as I wanna try canning if I have extra. Which is why I asked about the ratio so I can get more of other stuff in for canning possibly.
