Yeah right. If you count all of the maintenance staff and equipment as free. Missing from this article was the part where the soil was found to be contaminated, and had to be replaced- how much did that cost? I wouldn't mind any of this if they weren't so annoyingly self-righteous about this whole prop, and the press didn't gush on about the righteousness of it.
The First Lady also asked the students how much they thought it cost to plant the garden. They guessed $300, $800, $1000 and $6000 as Michelle acted as auctioneer.
She then revealed the answer: "Over 740 pounds of food have come out of this little piece of land..... It [cost] about $180."
