I am on a low carb high fat "paleo diet". In the front yard, we have a
concrete retaining wall that is a boundary of our land. Beyond the
retaining wall, 3 feet lower, is a public sidewalk. I rented a monster
tiller recently, and tilled a 24" strip of land immediately adjacent
to the retaining wall. (did a lot of other tilling to plant a lawn
elsewhere).

My desire is to plant some pretty, high fat, low carb, edible plants
that are not grains.


The problem is the fat profile of modern domestic animals vs. the
wild animals our ancestors ate. Fat from domestic animals is high
in saturated acids. Fat from wild animals has plenty monosaturated
fats and is high in omega-3 fatty acids. The closest we could come
these days to a real 'paleo diet'

You seem like a pretty reasonable fellow, you do realize that our ancestors
were in poorer health than we are today.

Their diet sustained them through about 45 years then they died by accident,
disease or war.

These days, we need a diet that will sustain us into the late 70's early
80's years of life.

Any extreme is not good, balance is the key.
