Comment on It is very therapeutic to garden, though.

Although I have certainly mentioned that 40+ acres are required to sustain a family agriculturally I believe that it is still worth it to grow food and herb and spices. Just don’t expect it to change the direction of inflation.

Considering how expensive fresh produce is getting, it doesn’t have to change the direction of inflation to be worth it.

That is true. But the cost of getting quality garden beds together from soil without toxic contaminants, the wood or metal beds, and the starts, and the water, and the labor can make it a loss financially. That said it is a great hobby and yield very satisfying results.

You know you don’t need “beds” made of wood and metal to grow plants, right? You’d be shocked to know that most plants just grow right in the ground. Raised beds offer some benefits for sure, but are completely unnecessary for most home gardens.
