I have a small urban home and have decided to start trying to produce our food on it. I'm still trying to figure the ups and downs of getting the soil right. My watering is a disaster. My plants grow slowly and aren't producing much. I'm wondering if our yard has too much shade. We have several trees that we can't take out because of the HOA and the city.
I'm wondering if I should just give up. I'm not sure that what I'm asking from this property is reasonable. Any advice?
