To "garden" in a compressed format is a paradox. A true garden requires the opposite of compression; it requires the luxury of waste. It needs the waste of time spent watching a seedling fail to sprout, the waste of space where only weeds choose to grow, and the waste of energy spent on a harvest that might only yield a single, perfect tomato. In a garden, there is no "extract here." There is only the slow, rhythmic expansion of roots through soil, a process that cannot be accelerated by a faster processor or a more efficient algorithm.
