Although I think we do need to cultivate more in the way of edible items to offset the rising cost, I was thinking that this would be a double victory garden, sort of a victory over hunger and a victory over the speculators/oil industry/OPEC, in that some of the plants, in the landscaping as well as the garden, could be turned into bio-fuels. With a local center to take them to we could all be supplying a small percentage of what is needed in our countries daily.
