The size of your organic garden depends on how much food you wish to grow. Keep in mind that it won't be able to be stored for very long after you harvest it. How much room do you have in your yard to dedicate to an organic garden? Also, the larger that it is the more time you will need to dedicate to it in order to properly maintain it. If you want to grow more than you can consume, perhaps you can even sell some of it to friends or family members for a low price.

Choose your location very carefully as well. You want the ground to be level and you want your organic garden to get lots of sunlight.
