Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Greg and April" <gregandapril@earthlink.net>]

The thing I notice about them, is the fact that they are never near enough 
to take advantage of, without spending a bundle to get there, let alone the 
cost.

Anytime an advertisement for a permaculture course comes up, I'm going to 
point out that it's only an ecological living philosophy, not a how-to for a 
complete grower, not a route to fast, economical food production for 
oneself, or a neighborhood, or a farmers market. Also I'd point out that 
Mollison *lived* his philosophy for many years and was a university 
professor, and has been seriously at odds with the Americans who have tried 
to cash in on his work and name.

I notice the cost is not revealed up front; it rarely is. The cost of these 
weekend or weeklong seminars is out of reach for the millions of poor and 
working class who need growing instruction the most. Mollison's book is a 
lot cheaper.
