permaculture

["Andrew Clements" <jara@otenet.gr>]

Dear Doug,

   I have found four concepts to be fabulously effective in restoring nature
to its once pristine condition. They are Fukuoka, Permaculture, Schauberger
and now Rockdust. Fukuoka observation and seedballing with permaculture
philosophy, Schauberger water concepts,  rockdust and compost have
transformed the once chemical nightmare of a farm I acquired into a
recovering paradise.

Andrew.
