Good list, Lawrence. Thanks
I strongly agree with you regarding Lewis Hill's propagation book. I
used it as the principle text for a propagation course I taught last spring.
I haven't yet read 10 Acres Enough but I'll track it down. Another good
book on the subject is Joel Salatin's You Can Farm. Reminds me, too, of
*Booker T. Whatley's handbook on how to make $100,000 farming 25
acres**********.*
If y'all haven't looked at it yet, there's a large list of seed sources
at http://permacultureactivist.net/TradingPost/TradingPost.htm
and another for Plant Nurseries at
http://permacultureactivist.net/nurseries/PlntNursrys.htm
Seems like a good time for me to create a page devoted to animal
resources, too. (Something to do this winter)
BTW, hope y'all are enjoying the latest Activist issue on Animals in Design.
I've been reading ACRES USA for almost thirty years now and still love it.
