Honestly, with my raised beds, between compost, seeds and fertilizer I probably lose money compared to buying tomatoes from the store. Home grown garden tomatoes are 10x better quality than grocery store tomatoes.

Bro I been growing edamame. Holy fucking shit. You’ll fucking cum.
yeah? our light is very poor in our back garden. the only thing that thrives, that I’ve found, is gerkins, so thats what we grow. tiny cucumbers, and we pickle them.
we tried regular peas and beans, and it was OK, but there was so little fruit at one time we became completely confused as to how anyone could have enough for a whole serving at any one time.
Whats your light situation like with the edamame? do you just boil/salt them and eat them like you would in a japanese restaurant?
I should do that next year. Grow a bunch of stuff for the first time hydroponically this year and it has been fun. Even though the pruning gods would murder me if they saw my tomatoes.
I live in Ireland, we don’t pay for water (or even waste water out like they do in Germany), but the rain has been non-stop this year with the gulf stream. I’ve also just intalled a water butt out of a 500l repurposed whiskey barrel (again, Ireland) so that also helps with not having to use the hose (they call it the hose pipe)

Soybeans. You’ve been growing soybeans.
Is edamame specifically when it’s in food form?
There are lots of different foods made from soybeans, like tofu and tempeh. Edamame is young, whole soybeans cooked in their pods.
Ah good to know, thanks!
TIL
Its a specific dish.

Yeah but then what do I do with the leftover edamame?
Not to mention the cost of watering.

That’s what rain barrels are for
