    Am I reading this right?

    Quote: Where did you see these numbers? Did I completely miss this part? I checked with a local organization (Seattle Tilth) and they agreed that it appeared to be 3 for under 1/2 acre, 2,000 for over. I'm still confused since we have some differing opinions here. Guess I need to call the...
