Luke,

Better let all Oz chileheads know about it after you get it going
because 2.5 acres = 330' x 330', and if you space them 18" apart,
that's 48,400 chile plants. And if you get 1# off each plant
(Jim Campbell or Janie, is this a good average poundage for a
bunch of varieties?), that's around 20+ TONS!
