P.S:
examples of established permaculture include a place in new mexico &
one in orcas island. i might visit the one in orcas island this year,
if i decide $15 for a 3 hour tour is my thing, once i'm back 'home' in
washington.

about permacultures reputation:

the permaculture courses i have found here & around the states, all
offered for thousands of dollars, or a day or 2 for hundreds of
dollars, i find vastly overprised. regardless if they are teaching
valued information about growing food... i feel those classes are to
be attended by folks who live in a different reality than myself.
where does that money they charge go? for them to pay taxes or buy
hybrid cars? OK, if its to build up their own home & pay all their
bills.
but i can't help but see those permaculture classes as just yet
another corporation with greedy hands. not someone i want to learn
from. i want to learn from someone who respects the soil and wants to
fix it & feed themselves from it & isn't offering me what i see as an
extremely unbalanced deal. or, i want to learn from myself, each
season.

the point i am trying to make is don't let scams discourage your
interest in the concept. i recommend books, not seminars. thanks for
reading this barely-on the land-related.
