Is this group active?

It used to be, but Lawrence London, who claimed it was his own, wore
down every other contributor in the end.

Hello Janet.

Lawrence London sounds like a villain in a Walt Disney kids movie.

Well there seems to have been a few posts in the past week. Up until
now, each time that I have checked it had seemed like a ghost-group.

What happened and how did someone called Lawrence London manage to
stifle a group devoted to permaculture? I thought those sort of things
only happened in the kids groups. I thought you guys would be pretty
good regarding pest control.

Well, I'm Jeff Anderson, I am in Queensland Australia, a sub-tropical
area, and I have just renewed my interest in gardening/permaculture.

I have a half acre riverfront home and am in the process of tearing up
lawns and replacing them with fruit and nut trees, vegetable gardens
and fruit bearing vines. I am fortunate in that the climate allows
year round planting for most vegetables as well as quite rapid growth.
I have had vegetable gardens before but not really got into true
permaculture. I watched a documentary on permaculture a couple of
years ago and subsequently developed quite an interest in the concept.

How many people (lurkers) read this group? Anyone have a rough idea?

How long before Lawrence London makes an appearance?

Regards

Jeff
