Lol, children. Permaculture was a product of the work of david Holmgren
in the 70s and includes the work of Yeomans, including one book from
1958.


And Bill Mollison, but he and Holmgren don't seem to be seen together any
more. Anyone know the goss?


never mind the goss - i've read 3 permaculture books so far & i'm just not
GETTING IT. what's the goss on that? :-)

afaict, it's all about slopes and windbreaks & planting stuff irrelevent to
soil type etc, & the remainder is what i'd call "the bleeding obvious". who
the hell needs a fire mandala? what am i missing??
