    I mean they gardened 10 years ago and I garden now. It’s not that expensive.

    I never said this was supposed to replace your full time job. And you can count labor costs per hour if you want but it doesn’t count for literally every other task I have to do to continue living other than my actual job. Like I don’t do an hour analysis breakdown of cooking a good meal from home. If I calculated cook time, cleaning, prep it would work out bad too. Yet it’s still financially cheaper to eat at home. Because my domestic labor isn’t compensated.

    If i have $10 I can grow you more than $10 worth of grocery store tomatoes. If I pretend it’s a job it’ll be less per hour of course, but if I don’t have another way to monetize that time it’s a net gain. Honestly thinking of every facet of living life in terms of hourly wages is fucking depressing.
