permaculture

[SArjuna@aol.com]

     I recently took a great permaculture class with Mark Shepard, who 
explained that when growing a LOT of trees, to be able to sell nuts or fruit, 
permaculturists plant them in rows.   However, each tree still gets 
permaculture 
underplantings.   Comfrey and daffodils around the apples, for instance.
     For families just growing for themselves, he explained, the Edible 
Forest Gardens books are the bible.   These plantings mimic the patterns of 
natural 
forests.   Takes more time.
