permaculture

["John D'hondt" <dhondt@eircom.net>]

Georg,
You may know better but I don't. I know hydroponics best from trying to eat 
the result and even a child knows the difference. At least my grand children 
have no interest in eating it after one bite.
Calling hydroponics permaculture is a bit of poetic liberty. What to do when 
the pumps stop and the power fails?

I also happen to agree with Steve's other statement.
John
