1. Key ‘Juice’ for the APDC

2. Mile = 5280 feet long (1760 yards)
A Square Mile is 640 acres
Area of an acre = 43,560 sq.ft….or
A square that is 208.7’ by 208.7’ ….or A rectangle 100’ x 435.6’… or
8.25 feet wide x 5280 feet (a mile) long… or
A football field. (300’x160’) without end zones

3. Rainfall: 1 cubic foot of water = 7.48052 gallons
Therefore… 1” on rain on a square foot of your home’s roof = .623 gallons
Therefore…. A square foot roof sheds 623 gallons from a 1-inch rain (How big is your home’s roof and how many inches comes off your roof each year?)
1 acre-inch = 27,154 gallons

4. This is ½ square mile of Heal the Planet Farm’s 7.5 square miles
2.5 Acres
(1 hectare) 1
10 Acres
This is ½ square mile of Heal the Planet Farm’s 7.5 square miles
The soil as it is now can only absorb .5” of rain water per hour. In a 1.5” rain, over 9 million gallons runs off this ½ square mile.

5. A 1% increase in organic matter in the soil = ~27,000 gals increase in the holding capacity per acre

6. Every layer of plastic over a greenhouse = moving 250 miles south
Every layer of plastic over a greenhouse = moving 250 miles south
Every 10o of angle in the bed = moving 100 miles S. more sun.
Speed of light – 186,000 miles/sec ,000,000 miles/hr. Distance to moon ,000 miles
1% increase in organic matter will hold an additional 53,000 gallons of water per acre.

7. 50 meter electro fence = 12.5m x 12.5m square= 156 sq. meters
(or feet in a square = 1,700 sq. feet)
John Jeavon’s Minimum to feed 1 person for a year= 4,000 sq.ft.
= a square that is 63.25’ x 63.25’
1-acre pond that is 7 feet deep in center is approx. 2,000,000 gallons
