I'm sure something like that would be ideal for poor people wanting to supplement their veggie diet.

But it all goes back to that old adage of teaching a man to fish as opposed to giving him a fish.
You know I called the local church and asked if their youth group wanted to use some of my land and I would provide the seeds to make a community garden. The kids would just have to come plant, and help tend to it and could bring veggies home to their families. I guess that's what you're doing out there?

They never got back to me. Booooo. How did you find that place Silent?
