Turnips would be great, but they are salt sensitive. I'm really not worried about anything becoming weedy though (or stinky lol). All I have are weeds, at least turnips would be a beneficial weed. |
I have known people to buy houses with big back yards thinking they were going to put a garden in.
Just under about 2 inches of soil was nothing but busted up concrete and construction garbage.
They used the back yards for a land fill.
Then there was the subdivision that was abandoned in the Houston area because they found out the yards were contaminated with chemicals.
They had used the area to dump toxic waste.
