permaculture

[Michael Pilarski <friendsofthetrees@yahoo.com>]

Hi Jude,

Nice article link.  I just read it.  Great study around the world with a 
cube.  

I just gave a talk on permaculture to a group of farmers and organic soil 
amendment salespeople.  (Tainio Bio-Ag Conference). Organic leaning but not 
all of them.  I was thinking of what would be useful to large scale 
monoculture farmers and the beetle banks etc like you are doing is one of 
them.  So of course I'd like to know more when you have something to share.

I am starting a 6-weekend pdc today.  I have 37 people signed up.  A full 
course!

I will eventually need some certificates and I am under the impression I can 
issue CPI certificates?  What do I need to do next?

Hello All,

LL, thanks for sending this link 
(http://boingboing.net/2012/11/30/how-monoculture-farming-change.html).  
Follow it up with:

I'm working with farmers who grow hops, wine grapes, blueberries, nut trees 
and/or grains.  Many of these sites (between 100-500 acres) are mono-cropped 
or have minimal biodiversity. For farmers' ease of use, I'm creating 
templates introducing islands of diverse species, or beneficial insect 
attracting plant oasis's, for temperate and arid environments. The templates 
can be for a multitude of crop types.

If anyone on this list works within these or similar parameters, I'd 
appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks!
