    I think we might be looking at this fundamentally differently.

    I’m not talking rows of hanging plants, that’s probably worse than direct sowing, given the shade footprint. You put those where nothing else grows, or to shade plants that need some shade.

    So like over concrete, between beds if your yard sucks for in-ground (mine is gravel 3 inches down) or off a porch or something.

      Ah gotcha… I thought you were referring to maximizing the amount of crops in a given area where you basically planted in all three dimensions to use up less yard space. And sure, with proper planning you could still do that to some degree, I was just imagining rows of tightly-spaced hanging baskets all competing for sunlight.
