Quoting: Traverse Got more deck and patio space than I know what to do with but zero yard that I can plant it. Depends on what you like to eat. You can produce a lot of produce out of containers. I had 2 earthboxes on a deck last year with german giant tomatos and they grew 8' tall out of those little pots. I had used other containers to build privacy walls along the edges of the deck with peppers (cayanne), herbs and broccoli. |

I have small gardens as I lack the time now to tend to larger ones these days (oh thank you fucking economy for this - this is another long story). I have had laying hens for years and collect their eggs. If I could I would live off of what is out of my garden and eat the eggs (I do not kill animals as I refuse to it sickens me). My brother also fishes from time to time so he gives us his extra catches. As to meat, I could give it up all together no problems. Meat can go through the roof in price I don't give a shit I will buy much less of it and replace it with other alternatives. It is not just the meat that keeps going up it is everything.....
