In contrast to the 321 square foot Garden, this 765 square foot indoor garden requires more space because it omits barley in favor of less efficient grains like oats, includes more beans and other crops. .The following crops are all capable of producing over 1300 calories per 100 square feet every 7 days/sols, with enough biomass to keep the system sustainable (this is much much higher than most vegetables not listed here. A garden averaging 1300 calories per week would take just under 1100 square feet, but this selection is only 765 square feet because it uses many of the more calorie Efficient crops like potatoes and beets.):
