The ‘lifecycle’ carbon footprint analysis found ‘infrastructure’ is the big contributor to the higher footprint. Most home gardeners, almost all of them tend to use repurposed materials to construct their gardens.

Home gardeners actually are taking a load off the landfills not contributing to global warming.
