permaculture

["Scott Pittman" <scott@permaculture.org>]

I read some years ago a text on viticulture in Portugal but I can't find my
book.  What stood out for me was that the Portuguese farmer used pollarded
elm as support for the grape vines.  The elm was supposed to have a
beneficial effect.  

If I find the book I will post the title and author, but it was a very old
book and I don't want to get anyone's hopes up.

Dear Chuck,

did you get any responses back from Australia regarding this topic. I'd love
 to know what 
information you've discovered so I can trial it. Biodiversity and soil
health are
very important to me.

Kind regards,
Sonia
