You’re right, but I live in an apartment with no ground to plant in well, there is some, but they put so many chemicals on the lawns, I can’t even grow catnip out there for His Macho Majesty . Gotta go with what Trader Joe and my local, family-owned health market provides.
And hey, Mad Dawgg, don’t forget the exercise part of the equation get out there, go to the gym, do interval training.
I also live in an apartment building I have no yard whatsoever but a kind old lady I met on the internets showed me the way. I use a sytem called "grow Buckets" or "Earth Buckets" and homemade carts to move them in and out of the warehouse part of our building. (Local ordinance says I can leave stuff on sidewalk during day as long as people can walk past them easily but sidewalks must be cleared at night)
If you have a balcony or porch that is open to the sun you just need the buckets.
Here is how to make them: DIY Hydro Grow Buckets
BTW I get around 40 lbs (or more) of tomatoes per bucket and the sidewalk they are on is on the west side of the building so I don't get a full days worth of direct sunlight.
