Chuck - I don't know about permaculture practices per se, but there is a
gentleman named Greg Willis who began his career as an organic
viticulturist, went on to study biodynamics and now has established his own
company based on the work of Steiner, Burbank and GW Carver and the practice
of agricultural homeopathy. He has a long list of companion plants for wine
grapes (and many other interesting things) at his website,

www.GWAgriculture.com

I have my table grapes interplanted with comfrey (as well as other things),
but it is too early to say whether it was a good idea.

Dylan Ford is the author of the proposal at www.ideaforpresident.com , a
website devoted to an idea that could provide an avenue to address pollution
issues, food safety, social justice, prison reform and healthcare.
