i don't know too much about permaculture, but i'm learning about greed /
invasive species / ecological effects by doing restoration landscaping.
it's amazing to see what happens when we bring a bit of time-carved balance
into the picture.  the native flora and fauna flock back to these
postage-stamp yards that have been wrested from the greedy invasive species.
