This attitude betrays someone who has never actually tried to raise tomatoes. It's not difficult, and rich people have no special insight into the process. Of all the things that are hard for poor people to get, dirt is not one of those. Have you lived in Kowloon Walled City your entire life? [edit: not impugning the humanity of KWC folks; just grasping at straws to imagine those without access to sunlight] No? Then you owe it to your humanity to raise some tomatoes. If you can get online you can find some seeds or seedlings. No one is born in Antarctica; everyone has a summer of some sort. Maybe you're working three sixty-hour jobs, but that means someone in your family is not. Grandma can certainly spend twenty minutes every three days weeding. Do your weeds grow faster than that? Congratulations, then your tomatoes will also grow faster.
