I have a terrible back but love gardening so I invested in 3 foot high bins. They are a life saver for not only my back but keeps rabbits from eating the vegetables. If you get the right soil mixture you don't have to worry about the weeds.

The dirt....you can't do much about that except hydroponics like you said but that has its drawbacks too. At the end, you do what helps you and keeps you happy.

My biggest issue at this point is mosquitoes so I've started wearing long pants and a light jacket. That seems to have helped things.

    Mosquito's suck too, but I didn't want to get into a fight with someone about repellent, or citronella, or bundling up in winter clothes thick enough to resist the hummingbird-sized mosquitoes we get in Minnesota, while trying to garden in 105° heat.

    What makes me happy is buying vegetables from the farmer's market, so that's what I do.
