permaculture

[llami@teleport.com (Lawton/Miller)]

New to farm life--I put *straw* on top of the weeds, not hay. :-)

Another comment I wanted to make, is that by the time I shredded all the
newspaper, layered all the layers, etc., I spent more time than I would
have digging out the weeds, and planting directly into the soil.

I thought that this was an *easier* way to garden!

Does anyone have any comments about the labor intensity of permaculture?
