Previous federal projects to rebuild urban centers have usually been costly failures. Sponsors of this plan argue that it might just prove the simplest and best way to revitalize inner cities...
...Soviets call it living na levo-"on the left." At its simplest, it is nothing more than passing on to the local butcher tickets for a popular soccer game or concert in return for a good cut of meat; tipping off the plumber about a shipment of shoes that is due to arrive in a shop as payment for fixing a leaking pipe; or holding down a second job as a furniture mover or apartment painter.

Thus for outdoor hydroponicists there is no digging, weeding, composting or spraying. The indoor gardener is spared the necessity of messing with loam in the home and, if careful, can avoid the danger of bacterial infection around his plants...
