Given that most people nowadays live in towns or agglomerations ...
- nkozyra 13y agoI live in the suburbs but with a very small backyard. I have about 60 sq ft of space that provides 90% of my vegetables throughout the year. When I lived in an apartment I had two tomato plants and two squash plants on my deck and it would give me pounds of food a week (squash grows really quickly, tomatoes grow abundantly). It's not impossible by any means for most people to do so, even in small quantities.
- DanBC 13y agoA lot of stuff can be grown in tubs or growbags. Yes, there's the cost of getting it and tending it, but there are advantages in positive mental health and exercise (with bigger yards) and some hippy "feeling connected to the world" stuff. Eatings peas just off the plant is great. Even herbs and spices can be grown if you just have a window sill. But, yes, it's not for everyone. Some people just don't like that kind of thing.
