I have kept records of all my expenses and of everything I harvested over
the years and on average I have a 'profit' of plusminus $100 per annum. I
work at least 100 hours in my garden every year, so my 'wages' are $1.- per
hour.

Of course Cathy is right you shouldnot do it for the money but for all the
other obvious reasons.
