Yes. It is expensive, time consuming and inconvenient. Don't get me wrong, I have 10 half whiskey barrels filled with tomato, eggplant and herbs planted this year. But tearing up your lawn to "save a ton of money" is misleading. If I want to tear up just my back lawn, I'd probably need $5,000 in soil amendments at least. I'd have to dedicate 20 hours a week to manual labor. I'd have to plan all sorts of things I don't have time to plan like cover crops in the winter to avoid erosion, crop rotation etc. I am not and most are not farmers anymore. Our wives don't sit home canning and churning butter. I have tons of prepper food for shtf. But until then, while I still have a great paying job, I will get my produce from the fucking grocery store. And I certainly won't go on the internet trying to sell everyone on the idea of how cheap and easy it is to rip up their lawn and "plant things they can eat.," why? Because it's fucking hippy bullshit logic that usually streams from climate change faggot liberals.
