Permaculture is not based on Steiner or his theory of anthroposophy.

'Based' is not the word I should have used. I should have said

quite a few, do regard Steiner's research as a positive addition to the
permaculture movement?

Pc was developed in Australia by Mollison and Holmgren.

Yes, that's right.

It would be hard
to imagine two people less interested in fairies, angels devas, auras
and the occult.

But then again from someone who thinks she knows what people think, you

out to many similarities but you have, strangely or perhaps not, snip
it.
