I believe there are a few. but hardly enough to be worthy of comment. I think the main 2 problems were bugs and plant-care-is-hard.
examples: sports, lifting, cooking, building buildings, repairing things.
I wonder if you feel like "fun" is not "work" so you can't <enjoy yourself> because that would be doing fun <not-work> which would be <time wasting> (I know someone who is slowly teaching himself to like fun where he previously wouldn't allow himself to)
That contradicts my understanding of forest gardening. It's one of the oldest agricultural methods, it's low maintenance, and polyculture encourages diversity, which would seem to make pests a considerably smaller problem than in monoculture.
I know of this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beacon_Food_Forest but I have to ask the question; if they are so great; why don' they exist more often? There is likely something that I am missing from the picture.
Yeah, I'm not sure either. There are more economical ways to perform agriculture, of course. That's probably part of it.
