permaculture

[Keith Morris <earthsurfing@yahoo.com>]

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for clarifying your non-robotic status!
The broader Northeast is being collectively and collaboratively organized 
through a wiki: http://northeasternpermaculture.wikispaces.com/ 
a listserv:https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/northeasternpermaculture
a facebook group:http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=22341369773&ref=ts

the Permaculture Institute of the Northeast (P.I.N.E.):http://www.thepine.org/
a ning:http://northeastpc.ning.com/
And supported through Transition nings such as:
http://transitionus.ning.com/ and
http://transitionvermont.ning.com/

(Closer to you, there is also the Midwest 
ning:http://midwestpermaculture.ning.com/)

That's in the virtual realm, anyway!
But perhaps more importantly in the real through an annual summer gathering 
and great connections among friends and colleagues and through a growing 
informal network of other connections, classes, design projects, and farms 
(many of whom are using the wiki or listserv to meet, connect and stay 
informed).
This is not to mention more local 'guilds' and meetup groups with Finger 
Lakes, NY, Western Massachusetts,  Montreal, Canada, Northern and Central 
Vermont, Souther Maine, and Hudson Valley, and New York City being the more 
active and organized- to my knowledge.  (there are links and updates on the 
wiki.) 
Hope it helps, and if you'd like to join us for the gathering this summer, 
we'd love to share and hear from other regions!

Mr. LL,

To the best of my knowledge, I am not any type of bot. The email requesting
you (This mailing list) to join my Ning network was an oversight on my part,
my apologies. But anyone can join it if they wish, I was just working on it
a few days ago, simply my attempt to create an open permaculture dialogue
here in Minnesota. You can check out my website if you wish,
www.minnesotapermaculture.com, but again, that is in very early stages of
development, and I am just using Blogger as my frontpage.

Basically, I am looking for regional permaculture connections with no
specific agenda in mind. I would like hear about other permaculturalists
attempts at creating permaculture groups in their state, cities, etc...And
yes I know that there is a Permaculture Research Institue Cold Climate here
in Minneapolis, and I appreciate their work, but I am also looking to create
or particpate in a more open and casual group.

Thank You,

Andrew French (Cosmic Monkey)

Okay folks, here is a design problem, and no, as far as I can see it is not
the solution. I have a client that has about a 150 by 90 foot suburban lot,
and she wants a full landscape design for it, not necessarily totally
permaculture oriented. As I start the design I began to think of various
patterns and elements and functions I can use on her site.

Problem is, she has two huge dogs that tear up the yard right now. They are
confined to the backyard, but they like to run around and poop and dig up
holes, as dogs are want to do. She wants a raised bed vegetable garden back
there, and they have a firepit as well. So my question is, have you dealt
with dogs in your designs and if so, have you come up with any brilliant
ideas? I have a few already that may work well, but I want to hear any and
all input. Thank you.

Andrew
