Lawrence,

I am fairly new to the list and to the ideas of permaculture, but not to
growing and nature/Nature.

<><>-----------------
Many people you meet are in that position. "Never heard of permaculture".
<><>-----------------

I can't thank you enough for bringing Fukuoka to my attention. A man who so
clearly loves and respects nature. I haven't watched all these youTube videos
yet but am relishing the anticipation of getting to. I will certainly be
passing these links and his name on to several friends.

<><>--------------
Very glad to help out.
I was surprised to see Masanobu himself in one of the videos, and speaking.
There seems to be an endless list of permaculture and biological garden and
homesteading & renewable energy
(just search for 'solar hot water heater' or 'small fuel-efficient wood
cookstove' or the like).

I now have two of his books, Natural Farming and One Straw, which are
available at the Soil and Health Library to download as pdf's.

S&H is a marvellous resource. There should be a mirror site somewhere just
to protect and preseerve the archives for perpetuity.

Just reading the preface to Natural Farming says enough for me. It ends with
him talking of his greatest fear for nature being the mind of man.

"All begins by relinquishing human knowledge.
Although perhaps just the empty dream of a farmer who has sought in vain to
return to nature and the side of God, I wish to become the sower of seed.
Nothing would give me more pleasure than to meet others of the same mind."

<><>------------
This is one of the most amazing things I have ever read.
I think I may be moving toward using his farming methods on a portion of my
farmland, about 1 1/2 acre
that is very well tilled and fertilized and bedded and has lain fallow for a
year.
<><>_-----------

I hope he understands that the seeds he sows are not just the kind that grow
plants.

I am sure he did but maybe not the full extent it. This list is
an expression of his thinking, a spinoff in a way.
