The upcoming issue of the Permaculture Activist focuses on weeds ("Weeds to
the Rescue"). How are these exuberant plants best integrated into a
permaculture system? How can we deal with the more problematic ones (think
rhizome-spreading Johnsongrass and bermudagrass)? Articles on specific
edibles, systems for making weed-ferment compost tea, uses of specific weeds
in composting, weedy insectary plants, ways to deplete the weed seed bank,
systems that use pigs, chickens, ducks, and of course, weeder geese,
long-term weed control for broadscale farm management, novel applications of
mulch, living mulches, nitrogen-fixing or tap-rooted weeds for regeneration
of depleted soils, etc., are of interest...as well as more imaginative
definitions of "weeds" (animals, insects, parasites, perhaps stretching the
theme to invisible weedy structures).

If you have expertise, experience, or perspective, please consider writing
for this issue. The deadline for submissions is Dec. 1. Contact the editor
directly at wagesjm@gmail.com
