permaculture

["nguyen trung" <nttrung15@hotmail.com>]

Response to Graham:
 The issue started out with better feeding the world's hungry.  Can we hope 
to teach people in third world countries to successfully grow enough 
wholesome food to feed themselves and their neighbors in adverse geological 
environments (deserts..) without harming the earth?  If the ans. is yes, 
then there's a case for grants writing.  These jokes about pocketing money 
for vacations undermine the seriousness of the situation.

Greg:  Are you the guy that lives in Gilbert, AZ, whose lovely frontyard I 
saw?
