That caught your eye, didn't it. 
I've been wondering whether its more productive to grow fruit and veg in a small space that can be cared for/protected easily or in a larger space that cannot be.
For example, is it better to grow one small cherry tree that can be netted against birds or several larger ones that can't.
Or a couple of brassicas that you can watch over and net or rows of them that may be predated by birds.
Would you prefer two decent cabbages or 20 holey ones ?
A currant bush that is netted from birds or 6 bushes that aren't?
I think you can see where I'm going with this. Is small beautiful?
