Vegetable Garden on a Concrete Yard

As a hobby I've made small vegetable gardens for my own personal use. Even on Concrete yards and Rooftops.
I've been able to grow extensive varieties of vegetables in a limited space using Styrofoam boxes and mixture of dirt, cow manure and sand.
I've even had good success with peanuts, potatoes, sweet potatoes, jeruselum artichoke, ginger, etc.
Other vegetables were relatively easy, like, green beans, long beans, cucumber, bitter melon, etc.
Strawberries and Melons needed a bit more care.
For whatever reason I've never had success with Cilantro or Pandan plant. Tried it repeatedly and failed.
