permaculture

["Frances and David" <fdnokes@hotmail.com>]

It looks as if we are going to stay settled for now...  And act as if we own 
the place.  By that I mean that we would begin to maximize the space for 
growing.
And do some serious pruning and removal of trees on our property that are 
‘ready to go’ and/or seriously block the sun from the yard as conscience 
permits.
What I am contemplating is that this is a golden opportunity to learn more 
about trees’ woods and what they work well for...
Which ones are good for huglekultur (sp?), composting, fungi/rot barrier, 
carving into eating implements, utensils, buttons, etc. (My mind is a little 
frozen at the moment)

Would anyone have any idea of such a database of information?  
Just thought I’d start by asking this highly resourceful group of people.
Other than that, I can start by looking up the individual species as well as 
seeing what resources I can locate on my topic!
There is also a wood turner in our area that I intend to look up when we are 
back home, and he would also likely have something to say on the matter.

Cheers!
