Right - so you need a ton of labor. Which makes it basically a horribly paid job/hobby - not economically beneficial. Which was my initial point you tried to dispute.

You didn't read my reply then. As I said, the labor of establishing is only initially, and we are not talking a massive amount of labour. Once the perennials are in the ground, they do the work themselves for years to come.

And its like you don't understand, that what you grow yourself, you don't have to pay for at the Supermarket, those savings are your reward, among the joy of growing yourself and what other benefits that brings like more nutritious food.

Food is a big part of the paycheck for many people.

Yes - all of the world's farmers are dumb and wrong. If only you were in charge of the world...

I think I'll end the discussion here, as you are going for my person, instead of giving counterarguments to my points.

Just because millions of people are doing something, doesn't make it smart. I'll leave you with that
