Hmm, have I not stated the problem clearly enough? I think this is
the right forum, and this is a genuine question. I get the impression
that this method of determining the complete set of outputs and inputs
and linking them all was sort of standard. I may be wrong...

I attended an excellent introduction to permaculture a the Big Green
Gathering, which made me realise just how straight-forward and
'obvious' permaculture is. In particular, I remember a method by which
a permaculture garden can be designed by first setting out desired and
secondary inputs and outputs and using this to generate ideas by which
links throughout the garden can be found. The result being that
nothing was wasted and few inputs were required. I may have
misinterpreted this method, and I would like to revisit this idea -
not only for garden design but for other aspects of life! I have had a
look round the internet for links, but haven't found one that explains
this method to me.

Please, would some either describe the method to me, or tell me a
suitable link or book.

Most grateful for any advice!
