Sometimes it's funny how for the same species how different bodies have different nutritional needs and sensitivities.
I have two married vegan friends. They eat the same thing and about the same amount as far as I can tell. They work together and have pretty much the same activity level. One is overweight and the other slim.
Hmmm, growing in a pot or hydroponics. That is definitely food for thought. Thanks!

Another possibility you might consider is Square Foot Gardening, a concept that Mel Bartholomew wrote a book about in the early 80's, but he's written at least one updated book since then - seems that he eventually came up with a soil mix that minimizes the need for watering, and eliminates the need for fertilizer. You can google Square Foot Gardening, and read an overview of the system on wikipedia.
I remember having two 4'X4' planting beds at one place we lived back in the mid-80's, and even though they didn't provide an abundance of vegetables (primarily due to the varieties I chose to plant at the time), I was surprised at how much those small plots produced, especially compared to how little time was involved in caring for them.
