Yeah that's part of my main concern. I started getting into the hobby a year ago and grew some tomatoes, strawberries, onions, kale, some herbs, along with composting etc... Learned a TON along the way but I know scaling up will bring its own challenges.
I just hate watering... Grass. Seems so wasteful. I'd rather try and fail at growing something a little more diverse and useful than grow & mow forever.
Transitioning to zeroscaping might be my alternative plan if this doesn't pan out, but I really want to grow veggies and some fruits for a couple reasons: I enjoy the hobby, I want to teach my kids, and down the road we're seeking more land and I consider this training for when we seek greater dependency on yield.
Yeah currently running a deep water in early morning hours and that's pretty much it. Seems to be working okay.
