I generally have strong opinions but large farming as a business in Detroit stretches my credulity.
By the same token I take exception to people who claim Detroiters lack the stamina to do such labor intensive work. I am a professional gardener, female, middle aged and perform backbreaking work all the time. I also have a smallish herb garden and do reasonably well selling my produce at local markets. To imply Detroiters lack inniative and work ethic is just plain wrong.
I am actually giving serious consideration to growing medicinal marijuana.
More likely I will grow gladiolas as a side line.
GSCG [[Cub) uses raised bed gardening techniques. Contamination is not an issue. Small gardens like mine can net decent profits, high yield, low maintenance crops can provide needed supplemental income. I welcome the return of "truck farmers".
