I think of that a lot. My issue is my yard has a lot of sand because I live about 15 minutes from the beach. I can't get anything but grass and weeds to grow
I have fertile soil and I still use nothing but raised beds. I can control ph and composting easier that way and is easier to fence off and keep the deer out of it.
Gonna have to get some home depot buckets with some quality dirt! My neighbors have all asphalt driveway and backyard but they have a couple of dozen home depot buckets with dirt and they grow all sorts of stuff.
If anyone is interested, we own an amazing organic soil input - it will do way more than all of the poison Monsanto inputs AND it will fix a lot of soil problems. As a bonus, we are a private family business and ALL wide awake. Check us out at OrganicREV. Message me and I will shoot you a discount or answer questions.
Ty for the link I will definitely be checking it out. I love my vegetable garden. My wife and oldest daughter are canning fools in October. I get so much I have to give it away.
I have 3 30 by 30 raised bed gardens and two deck gardens I built for herbs.
unfortunately it's not as easy as it is displayed. I tinkered a bit in hydro and aeroponics. Home garden, not industrial scale. While it's amazing when it works right, it's also a setup that is absolutley error-intolerant. Fertilizer calculation small error? Crop dead. Humidity problems? Crop dead. Electricity loss for a day? Crop dead. Etc.
I grew to love soil-based setups. Soil acts as natural buffer for containing nutrients and moisture, and can even a lot of problematic spikes.

Raised beds, hydroponics, greenhouse.. There are more options than excuses

That's the way!
The fertility of my raised beds is off the charts. Every spring I bring in some 50/50 mix of compost and topsoil and adjust the ph.
We grew 40lbs of potatoes this year in buckets in my small yard. We are going to get more buckets for next year.

Ruth Stout gardening method. Deep deep mulch.
in cases like that you need raised beds
I have the same problem so I have raised gardens and grow bags. They are working pretty good.
