The following website link has a limited usefulness to a small segment of
people: mainly to those doing some significant portion of retail sales of
Market Garden produce, using small plots of land. These operations are
sometimes described as "Market Farming:, "Mini-Farming", "Market Gardening",
"CSAs", "Subscription Farms", "Membership Farms", or various other names.

The following URL links to a website tutorial with simple instruction on how
to extend your growing season a month or two, increase your production yields
by 20% to 1,000%. There are no products sold, no fees collected, just ideas
real people are already using to grow a lot more than most people think are
possible. The "free" website is provided by a webhost whom attaches random
advertisement to each page as the price of sponsoring "free" webpages. Since
no income is generated by giving away free ideas and free tutorials, there is
no incentive to pay an no-ads webhost hundreds of dollars per year. This is
the kind of information I would like to obtain from extension-agent websites,
but it is absent from those, so I provide this free service to fill in the
gaps.

If you get significant value from this website, please send the author an
email to LionKuntz AT email.com. Contact through this email address for links to
other tutorials and research pages.

The most important reasons to grow market fruits and vegetables in intensive
beds are

(1) Simplifies permanent planning of what areas may be compacted and which
areas are protected from crushing field traffic,
(2) contributes to overall strategy to boost yields to four to sixteen times
conventional yields per equal-sized areas,
(3) improves efficiency of labor, fertilizers, materials,
(4) improves plant growth and health,
(5) makes major savings of irrigation water,

(Includes links to global websites already demonstrating significantly higher
yields than normal row-cropping expectations from several continents.)
