>I'd answer no. As for permaculture, my understanding is that, as developed by Holmgren and Mollison, it's more a sustainable, integrated homestead philosophy than a system for practical home food production.<

Thanks Paul.
I would say that I don't intend to be a permaculture purist, but want to incorporate as many of the principles as is practical in my situation, with the aim of increasing each season as time, money and effort allow. Primarily in the area of gardening, but I realize "gardening" is a pretty simple term to apply to anything resembling permaculture as laid out by Mollison. My hope is to provide supplemental food for friends and family, my goats, and wildlife and to improve my soil while at the same time using less and less water and labor each year. Terry
