Well, perhaps th easiest idea to take from the permie mob is to look at
edges and see how that can benefit you. I hadn't appreciated the lush
growth of edges till I read something about it in a permie doco of some
sort, now I use it all the time.


edges?


Yep -- the edge or border between two different ecosystems is a combination of
the two ecosystems and therefore has a higher number of species, producing
higher yields and with better pest regulation.
