I used to kiss chicks quite frequently. But I was a lot younger then, and so were they. Mostly.

Water, food and shelter. People should know how to go about providing themselves with all three at the drop of a hat. So anything that can motivate or help people and communities get themselves to that level is all good, although many people will have zero interest until they're confronted with prolonged shortages and/or substantially higher prices. I also like the idea of rural and suburban property owners making gardening space available to people, for free, rent or lease. (We've had our smallish 20x50 garden for almost 25 years now. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, snow peas, kabocha (a winter squash), daikon (Japanese long radish), satoimo (taro), and a few leafy vegetables. However, admittedly, without my wife, I'm likely to go very hungry... I believe I have herbicide in my DNA.)

Kazuko, my better half, has been doing this with green onions and scallions forever. She'll also sometimes start carrot tops and celery, some types of herbs, but none of those make it to the garden. Sweet potatoes, one of my Grandmothers (I had two) would grow the vines in her sun porch, and they were unbelievable. I tried that for maybe 2 or 3 years a long time ago, did sort of okay, but I certainly didn't have her sweet potato DNA.

Sadly, the concept does not work for money. (Or bitcoin)

I like functional. Let's see... I've got 3 downspouts along the back of the house, so I figure roughly 90 sq. feet less to mow. I'm fine with that. What she plants is up to her. (Feel free to bring a few loads of compost down this way... I'll give you some clay to take back up. You can make your own bricks.)
