My personal time is where the majority of the costs are incurred. I look at it as a part-time job, not just a hobby. My regular full-time job pays me a hourly wage and I use that hourly wage to calculate my labor costs, since I could choose to work more at my full-time job instead. Fertilizer, electricity, water, equipment and real property overhead are just the start of costs incurred. But you're right a hobbist should only be spending approximately what you posted.
