permaculture

["Arnie Lehmann" <arnie_lehmann@hotmail.com>]

Hello Keith,

We just bought a small finca in Argentina in the wine district of Mendoza. I 
am very interested in the permaculture movement and would like to 
incorportate a number of ideas into this endeavor.

We will be moving there in a couple of years, but for now it is a productive 
vinyard and fruit orchard. The house on the property is built in the old 
style of brick and stucco, the climate is a bit like Napa Valley Calif. and 
I would like to get some good reference materials in the form of books and 
info on how to convert the vinyard and orchard into an organic operation, 
with extensive mulching and vermiculture as well as making the house as 
energy efficient as possible.

So am looking for sources, info and ideas on where to begin and are there 
any other "permies" in Argentina that I might hook up with.

Thanks
Arnie Lehmann
