There are things where you don't need scaling, maybe.

Around me there are a lot of those community gardens. It's encouraged by the city, and you can rent a piece of land for yourself.

(with that said, I grew up on a "farm", and as a child had to do a lot of gardening. I understand your enthusiasm about the flavors, but oh heck no, I'll eat the tasteless food for now and happy to not having to deal with all the work in the gardens :) )
