I've been reading Jacke's Edible Forest Gardens. The copying of the way
Nature does things by mingling many different trees, shrubs,perennials and
groundcovers seems a wise way to go.
However, I see that many people who call themselves and their projects
permaculture are still doing monoculture. For instance, the other day I
came
across the URL for a what was described as a model permaculture farm and
teaching center in Australia, to find when I looked at the arial map on their
website that they have big blocks of trees in rows, each block of a different
species.
What's up? Are there folks who think that as long as you're not tilling
that's permaculture, even if you have monoculture, and then others who think
that monoculture is not permaculture?
We are creating a permaculture farm community, and want to get advice
from a permaculture expert. But it seems that we'll have to find out which
subschool each expert follows. Is this how it is?
