Hi Christiane I understand that 10acres won't be enough land to produce a income.My mention of 10acres was in context of having around 10acres of irrigation.The total arable acreage is approx 70. Yes factored in a washing facility for the shed, developed from last summers Zucchini crop grown on a neighbours farm.(working towards chilling the water more after the second wash). As for the implements, as I mentioned before Mic,a bean and snow pea grower and Chris who crops garlic,lucherne,corn and cucumber have all I need for the property in very close proximity.For my part I have two poly tunnels with all the bells and whistle's from which I can raise seedling transplants for them.This summer we hope to plant out 2,500 Watermelon on Chris,s land. As for the soil samples this month I intend to grid the 70 acres and with a back hoe dig pits to profile the soil layers.Soil samples from the grid positions will then go to UWSH for analysis.I can e-mail you off list with the results. As for the mineral rock dusts I need more data in regard to your comment. Thank you very much for your help and Gils Allan E
