I meant "square foot". It's a gardening thing in the USA. If you want more, rent more; 1ft^2 is the basic unit.

Good point on "chemical warfare" - and this arrangement can solve it. Unless you request a particular arrangement of adjacent square feet, the GaaS (Gardening as a Service) provider can arrange arrangement with other people's plots to improve on inter-species interactions, and do so in ways that individual gardeners can't because they don't have the scale nor variety.

Sure, rent-a-plant would work too. I prefer the "square foot" approach. My idea started when the lead post reminded me of those odd real estate semi-scams that sold "one square inch" of some otherwise desirable area, complete with legal deed; then I realized that "square foot gardening" is a thing, and ran with it, and now hopefully calbear81 will really take it somewhere.
