Friend built their birdcage 3/4 concrete 1/4 (40sf) dirt. They brought in good soil, adding small section of sod for dog. Then plants from flowers to vegetables. Some did better than others, but not as good as the plants outside.
First downfall from the experience, heavy rainstorms sometimes left the dirt too wet for most of the summer, tracking muddy footprints everywhere. They still got bugs, and multiple time fire ants.
Second downfall, when they decided to sell, the negative comments on the dirt cage, was decided factor. In the height of selling frenzy of 2020-2021, offers were $50,000 less, but never had a solid offer.
The upside some vegetables, fruits tree ok. A couple of black snakes that kept the occasional mouse at bay.
