I really can't understand your antipathy to permaculture Otter, much of it
works well - in fact ost of the ideas that I've tried have.

i'm a pest, aren't i :-(

much of my bias stems from badly-written books & the fact that the permies
who used to live here managed to do so many incomprehensible and
badly-thought-out things which i now must undo on my own time.

i am aware that my bias is purely a bias.

in fact, my newest digger's catalogue mentions wossisname yeomans.
perhaps their day is coming!!!!!

Perhaps it's just that the regular gardening world is finally beginning to
discover the wider world of agriculture????

i actually think that the mass-soil-improvement idea is one whose time has
come!! so good on cranky clive for mentioning it and spreading the word. it
would go both ways though - agriculturalists could learn a great deal from
good gardeners (not me, obviously ;-)

She's actually very charming. Pity it doesn't come through in 10 second
grabs.

i am clearly insensible to whatever charm she has to offer, so i am more
than happy to agree to disagree :-)
