Obviously, legality in any particular area is an issue. Other than that, I was just reading about it online, and it seems pretty simple. Pot, dirt, water, light, fertilize. Or yard, hole, water, light, fertilize.
Not as simple as you might think.

Have you ever tried to grow your own produce? Even the simple tomato or pepper plant can be a challenge. I figure my home grown tomatoes cost about $4.75 each, cherrys at $.75 each.
Starter plants are a few bucks, or if you start from seed, you need peat blocks, or other “starter” set up. Then the pots or raised bed construction and potting soil. Then all the other suplements for tomatoes. Then bug sprays or powders or “home remedies”. Time investment of care. Then a hornworm caterpillar gets through anyway and eats half a plant overnight. Then a huge grasshopper eats the other half. Finally you have a couple of beautiful red jewels and a bird pecks a nice hole in one side of one. Too much rain and the other one developes blossom end rot!!!
But that’s O.K. We go to sleep secure that when the SHTF we will be able to produce our own food. A couple of dozen tomatoes, a couple dozen bell peppers, a couple dozen eggplants, a couple dozen zuchinni. Yep! We will be living large.
You better be darn good or at least have a few acres or you are gonna starve. But you can find on the internet people that can live off of a few plants in five gallon buckets and a handful of Talapia in a kid’s swimming pool.
