The neighborhood of tomorrow

Because all of that weed matting, plant box timber, plant box earth, gravel and time to tend the plants is supplied absolutely free.... Then you've got to either freeze the seasonal vegetables or let them rot. Or you could have a lawn which you mow and is zero hassle in comparison and pick up a bag of frozen or fresh carrots when you actually want carrots.

Lol. I was going to comment, but you guys said it already.

Plus that looks like shit

Seriously? You guys are princesses. I have a small veggie garden in my suburban house and its looks great. its low maintenance and the harvest is fantastic. I can go out and pick fresh veggies and herbs anytime. It costs next to nothing and its great for the environment. In the end the cost of setup is negligible, you actually save money in the long run. And about the look, well if your idea of a nice garden is a plain lawn I'm sorry to say I think your pretty boring, tonnes of herbs and vegetables can also be ornamental its just how you lay them out, maybe use your imagination........

I get people don't want to garden. But when the zombie apocalypse happens, you're all gonna beg me to be part of your commune for my gardening and canning skills.

Yay can't wait till some asshole comes by on a rainy day and some asshole driver sprays dirty street water all over my food

Apparently in New Zealand in some areas you cannot plant your own produce? I hope this information is false.
