Breakfast got a lot of complaints for the lack of protein but it was still fresh and delicious.Sponsors were awesome!

So if you decide to chemically kill all of your unwanted vegetation, then I would recommend buying offbrand concentrated glycophosphate for use in a pump sprayer and go crazy with it (while following manufacturers mixing instructions) but leave an unsprayed border of about 2 feet around your trees and use it on a calm day without wind or rain.  

While there are some great projects underway, most are very small scale - just a few city lots at a time.I've worked with one on the East Side and in addition to growign vegetables in the summer, they have a hoop house for year-round cool-weather produce, a lot with fruit trees, a lot with chickens and goats and they purchased the old, abandoned corner store and turned it into a community center with a library, computers and meeting area.

I throw all vegetable scraps, banana peels, eggshells, etc. into a plastic composter all summer long.

BUT they have no use for the huge vegetable garden area we have provided, but our old Italian tenant does grow a LOT of produce, God Bless him. 

Actually it is fermenting vegetables.

This house has a huge fenced yard with a vegetable garden.

You want a diversification of assets.... a few vegetables, beer, meat, snacks, water, milk, etc....Frank

Should there ever be a reversal in the State or Federal laws prohibiting such use the greenhouses would still be a very viable, albeit not as profitable from an ROI stand point, for the cultivation of vegetable and/or other plants that need year around environmentally controlled conditions.My thougt was that since it looks as though there's a real strong possibility that the Marijuana industry looks like it could be here to stay that expanding into commercial and reatail properties that lend themselves to this venue might be a prudent investment. 

Sacramento's a great area to grow vegetables since you can garden year-round.
