For all you urban gardeners out there. Article is Sydney based cos abc, but still valid. Good balance of ALL the factors involved including the downsides.

    I’ve been an avid gardener for years. Growing your own veggies costs a bomb for me. Possums. Grasshoppers. Bugs. Mealy bugs. Etc etc. If you’re lucky it might work. For me, no luck. The most expensive veggies I’ve ever had are my own.

      By my rough estimate, this year, I spent more than twice as much on my garden than the food was actually worth in dollars. But it is worth it to get better tomatoes and fresh okra that is not overly mature or bruised.
