Very good point.  Hmm.. I'm on the first floor and I have a corner
apartment.  I suppose I could do something with that corner.  I wonder
how good soil is as compared to sand.. I'm thinking of having a little
garden there.. and the box would be underneath a table of plants.

The wierd thing is that the floor is that crappy "hardwood" which is
practically made to burn.  =/
