Clint;

If you would be so kind as to elaborate on just what they do, and how 
you let them do it?
I know I'm a couple of months behind, sorry! Busy busy...

Which leads to another question, since I just, to my complete and total 
surprise, and absolute delight, married a man from Texas, (hence the 
last year has been, well, busy....) it looks as tho my new destination 
for a permaculture bit of land is now central Texas, hill country, in 
the next few years.  Has anyone recommendations for where to look for 
good land, who to contact for resources and the like?
Thanks for any help...
