permaculture

["Robert Waldrop" <bwaldrop@cox.net>]

It seems to me that the correct way of formulating 
this would be to say "permaculture is a total 
concept that can use natural agriculture, 
terramechanics, terraforming, local food 
production, wildscaping etc.  "  In other words, 
permaculture is not just another parallel concept 
to wildscaping, local food production, natural 
agriculture.  Permacultue IS the total concept 
design system, which may use any number of 
sub-systems like wildscaping, natural agriculture, 
terraforming, etc. to achieve its goals.  This 
seems to imply a narrow vision of permaculture as 
forest gardening with a design manual, or orchard 
keeping, when in fact permaculture is a total 
design concept under whose wings the rest of these 
strategies can rest comfortably and productively.
