Serial tech entrepreneur and PodPonics creator Matt Liotta’s  urban “farm” is in fact the razed site of former rough-trade Ponce de  Leon gay bar, the Phoenix, hunkering between the gritty Ponce Hotel and a  car wash in the Old Fourth Ward. There, Liotta, age 32, has parked four  metal shipping containers (which he plans to soon blow up to 25) more  typically seen on the back of freight trains. These postindustrial  mother ships nurture PodPonics’ crop of spinach, arugula, romaine, Bibb  and buttercrunch lettuces.
