Hi-

at the wikipedia I've added bits on Permaculture
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture (cribbed from the intro to the UK
asscoiation's site- could be expanded on but at least it's a start...)

also Fukuoka http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masanobu_Fukuoka
(from patrick whitefield's 'Permaculture in a nutshell'- I've just emailed
him to check he doesn't mind...)

and
propogating fruit trees/rootstocks for fruit trees
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_tree_propagation

It's great fun once you get the hang of it and the 'wikipedia militia'
(guardians against trolls, spammers, etc) seem very helpful &
accomodating...

Looking forward to the permaculture wiki...

BTW what's the origin of 'wiki'? at first I thought it was some pagan thing
to do with wicca or somesuch, hope LL can enlighten us???

Graham :-)
