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.

No one gives a fuck about your fucking potatoes.

Rules like that are clear evidence of systemic oppression.

The fact that you think this potato thing makes those rules acceptable says more about you than the people who are arguing with you.

No rule or law that prohibits vandalism is oppressive. Public Housing communities typically have an area set aside for community gardening anyway. Deal with it.

@ClaraListensprechen4 @tofugolem @CloudyMrs
Was pouring bleach on the ground WORSE vandalism? Are you actually condemning one crime by supporting a worse crime?
