[quote:Anonymous Coward 19852008:MV8xOTc2OTEwXzMzMjE4Mzk1XzUyRDg2NjlC] [quote:david 16910407:MV8xOTc2OTEwXzMzMjE4MzQxX0UwMUJEQ0NG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1516077:MV8xOTc2OTEwXzMzMjE0ODI3XzE5QTE4RTI1] and the effort it takes to plant something? grab a seed and shove it inside the dirt. even 4 year olds can do this. [/quote] please understand, your idea is wonderful, in theory, but your "take a seed and shove it in the ground" idea is just a little bit simplistic. there is a great deal of work involved in producing food with no guarantee of success. still it is pleasant work and more people should take it up. [/quote] I put in tomatoes and potatoes this year. Then the weeds came up and I could hardly see which were my plants and which were the weeds. Then the white-tail deer started visiting the garden. Now I don't see any more tomatoes or potatoes. If I don't invest about $3000 (that's a good price actually) in 9' high deer fencing, it does me no good to grow food. I'll just be feeding the deer.

if we just planted more fruit bearing trees in streets/sidewalks/parks/etc ...
if there were strawberries, cherries, lettuce, in abundance everywhere ...
we probably don't even have to work.
