permaculture

["Tradingpost" <tradingpost@gilanet.com>]

Good luck in your startup. Just my take on it, but I'd suggest getting the 
information and experience before shopping for investors.  One thing about 
permaculture -- it's an ongoing, lifetime learning experience as opposed to a 
book of instructions, and we're all learning.   Also you might keep in mind 
that permaculture as originally envisioned is a lifestyle rather than a 
business plan as such.  "Landscaping" is an ecological component of a 
sustainable, permaculture lifestyle, integrated into food production, animal 
husbandry, and all the rest.  The unique thing about permaculture is the 
combining of these activities into a sustainable, serendipitous whole.  You 
have your work cut out for you.
