In Soviet period the site was considered as rescue, on table there were always products, and the family could live. After reorganization when in shop the surplus of products was observed, big need to contain kitchen garden was not. Today the mode on the earth, but doubts concerning whether it is favorable to have on it kitchen garden has again returned or it is better to leave lawn for rest, become cornerstone for many summer residents.
If to consider personal plot from the economic point of view, it is possible benefit from possession and cultivation of the site to express in direct and indirect profit.
Direct profit
If to undertake calculations and to express payback of kitchen garden in money equivalent, it will be possible to draw conclusion that this indicator will fluctuate depending on various factors:
1. If the kitchen garden adjoins to the territory in which there is house in which constantly live. Many future gardeners select to themselves the site according to this criterion. Be it the site which is located from the house (apartment) at a great distance and if on it there is no country house, then it automatically means that owners have to spend constantly money and time for the road, and, therefore, will decrease payback.2 indicator. The number of the allocated territory on kitchen garden. It is natural if your garden site makes only one bed, it is simply inexpedient to speak about profitability. Or, for example, at your disposal huge hectares of the earth, and you process only small part, expenses on land tax can exceed on expected profit on kitchen garden. 3. Correctness of landing of country cultures. At respect for all norms and requirements to landing you will have harvest all summer season.4. Availability of free time. If it is absent just and constantly it is necessary to employ workers who will be engaged in kitchen garden not in industrial scale, then charges will be very high. So, if you have decided to get the site and to contain on it kitchen garden and want the kitchen garden to pay off, pay attention to remoteness of the site; get exactly so much how many you will be able to contain; attend lectures on cultivation of country cultures at which will tell about care for various cultures and their correct landing.
Indirect profit
If the sure gain can be counted, then with indirect to make it very difficult. Having the site and perceiving it as wearisome and hard work, seldom owners think of many good points: 1. The kitchen garden allows to save on fitness. It is natural if you awake to be engaged, for example, the whole day in one weeding, then it is impossible to compare these exercises to training.
Try to alternate types of works that different groups of muscles worked.
2. Receiving eco-friendly products of which you are sure for 100%.
Natural farmer products, as we know, positively affect health and are many times more expensive than vegetables and fruit of industrial production.
3. Stay in the open air. People who have no site should leave on the nature to have a rest and "breathe" fresh air. You receive it the free application.4. Communication with relatives. Perhaps, it is the most valuable and important. Everyone gives the final answer about payback of kitchen garden to himself, everything depends on internal spirit and requirements. At the correct planning of the work you receive not only benefit at reduction of the expenses, but also that profit which is often not noticed, as a rule.
