AA>Raised beds with controlled drainage seems to be good solution.

My next door neighbours built a huge garden with a lot of those,
just outdoor for summer growing though. That's maybe easier to
understand when you see how little soil we have in this area
on top of the bedrock. Building boxed raised gardens keeps the
soil you do bring in from being washed away.

Yes.. Back when I lived in the city (ironically) and was working
full time I had a fairly big garden, several hundred square feet,
but I was there most of the time to take care of it, having only
a couple of weeks a year off. Now I'm retired with lots more spare
time and I don't have the ambition..   B)
