I wanted to discuss this man. Because personally, I see him as a superhero. And being that this is superherohype, the man deserves some hype.

Would you plant a fruit tree on "government soil" in your city?

It takes more effort than many people realize to grow a garden. If a lot of people cooperate however, that's a different thing. Trying to do it on your own or with one or two other people is very labor intensive though. You also have to have the right soil, light, temperature and seasonal conditions depending on what you intend to grow which means it might be more work than it's worth in some situations. Others it's definitely cheaper and better to grow locally.
