What is profitable to plant on a small plot of land

Dill

If you can organize permanent sales channels, growing dill will be very profitable. This plant is used in many dishes, especially summer dishes, and the margin on it is very high. In addition, you can harvest up to 100 bunches per square meter of land.

Salad greens

The situation is similar with herbs for salads, such as parsley, arugula, spinach, basil, etc. Look at the price of a regular bunch of herbs in the nearest supermarket and the profitability of growing them will become obvious.

Spicy herbs

You can grow rosemary, marjoram, sage, cardamom, and even saffron at home. However, spicy herbs require a little more care than ordinary herbs.

Champignons or oyster mushrooms

Mushrooms should be grown in an airtight, clean, regularly ventilated room with a stable temperature and high humidity. Champignons can also be planted on the balcony or in beds.

Strawberries

Strawberries are very popular in the summer, and if you manage to get an early harvest, you will not be long in coming. You can also grow other berries, such as red berries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.

Greenhouse

If you have a greenhouse, you can grow vegetables all year round. In winter, the prices for fresh tomatoes, herbs, peppers, cucumbers, etc. are much higher than in summer, and the demand for them decreases slightly, so you can probably make a good profit.

Potatoes

Potatoes are usually grown for your own consumption, but in the spring, when stores sell last year's leftovers and start bringing expensive imported root crops to the market, you can sell the rest of your harvest at a decent price.
