    There is no precise answer to the associated costs. It’ll be different for every circumstance.

    So in other words it could be anywhere from zero to “a lot”.

    There are just too many variables and factors to consider.

    Which makes it very hard to say that “associated costs” are prohibitive in growing one’s own food.

      I thought you were sincerely asking a question and I was answering sincerely as best I could. If you would like a more precise answer for your specific situation, then I’m afraid I can’t really help there, at least not without a lot more information and a lot more time investment on my side.

        I appreciate your effort in that, but I was actually replying to the OP to make the point that “there are associated costs” is not a valid criticism of home gardening.

          It seems like there would more effective and direct ways (with less farce and fallacy) than asking a loaded question that people might see as a sincere request for information and an opportunity to spark a bit of interest.

            You are the one who misinterpreted and answered a question that was not asked of you. There was no farce or fallacy in my question in the context of that particular discussion.

            Have a nice day.
