Commenting on “Use your illusion: Making the most of the small outdoors”

How long will such beautiful courtyard last? People choose to live in a cubby house in overpriced inner suburbia are likely to be either overworked or over lazy in house work / garden maintenance. Even a small garden needs time and tender loving care. The water feature may look good and sound good, but soon the water trough will gather moss and algae, even with running water. Leaves from neighbouring trees can fall into the water, and need to be removed.
“Sow carrots. Baby carrots are ideal for troughs.” Baby carrots will become big carrots, and what can they be used besides feeding them to the pet rabbit? After baby carrots, what else can be grown in the trough, not another lot of baby carrots?
Just keep in mind anything that grows needs more attention than something that is dead or artificial!
