@tofugolem
That won't stop the growing of potatoes. You can do that atop the ground.

@CloudyMrs @tofugolem
Mrs. Cloudy, what I said about potatoes makes no sense to people who don't know how to grow potatoes, and I've successfully done this in public housing...yet there are people in this thread that claim I offered no solution at all.

At least you asked for more information, so kudos to you.

Tomatoes can be grown in pots/planters, and in public housing too. You just don't go around digging up lawn that doesn't belong to you, and that escapes this bunch too.

HOW IT's DONE without spending a penny: rake up all fall leaves into the patch where you want to grow them (a 3-foot-high layer at least), let the leaves decompose over winter, then in spring put seed potatoes under the decomposed leaves right on top of the lawn. They'll do the rest and you don't have to do actual digging to harvest them.

To the rest of this gang, you may commence to feel foolish because you were. Carry on.

@ClaraListensprechen4 @tofugolem I grew up on a farm. We grew lots of potatoes. You are talking utter mince.🤣🤣

Ya, I'm not talking about farming, kid. This is gardening--for your penance look up "potato growing bags". You stand corrected.

@ClaraListensprechen4 @tofugolem you're hilarious. No crop could survive someone popping in past to kill growing plants. Seriously chum. You're on the wrong side here. Plants are plants are plants. They all need basically the same things. One of the things they don't need is bleach.

@CloudyMrs @tofugolem

And you happen to be talking to somebody who has already done this successfully. What you need to do is quit being ignorant.

@ClaraListensprechen4 @tofugolem 🤣🤣🤣 anyone can grow anything if the guy with the bleach stays home. The point is that no one should ever be preventing community growing from happening. It's counter productive, nasty and un necessary.

@CloudyMrs @tofugolem
Wrong. If the objective is to grow food, you can grow food. But that's not your objective, is it. You wish to legalize vandalism.

@ClaraListensprechen4 @CloudyMrs
Still missing the point.

Those rules should not exist.

Those rules are evidence of systemic oppression.

The fact that it is possible find a workaround does not make the systemic oppression acceptable.

@CloudyMrs

..while you continue to miss the point that nobody has a right to vandalize property that they don't own. The problem is growing food, not legitimizing vandalism.

@CloudyMrs

Thank you for admitting I am correct about your nefarious objective.
