Marketplace Confessional

"I enjoyed Stacey Vanek-Smith's piece about backyard tomato growing, but felt that it gave an unfortunate negative impression about the economics of home production. There are lots of terrific noneconomic reasons for growing one's own food. A savvy approach is needed if one wants to do it to save money, though, and this may involve NOT throwing in money like it's the height of the dot-com bubble again. . . " "
