This was a big gripe of mine when I was really into listening and reading about permaculture. Many of them were super interested in adding things to the land because it was supposedly degraded from years of farming or because that part of the country didn’t have those nutrients. It baffled me that they couldn’t connect the mining needed to get the rock phosphate they needed to add to the land. Or the green sand.
I container gardened while renting and loved it but yeah, watering got annoying unless it was rainy season in south Florida. I still like some accent containers, more for tender tropicals, but generally it’s all in the ground.
The garden industry has many problems and this is a good one to bring to light!
