Re: permaculture Digest, Vol 2, Issue 36 Heya folks,
Penny Livingston (www.permacultureinstitute.com) has essentialy made large brush piles and then planted tubers in there such as potatoes and mashua. I was helping harvest the mashua that had grown in a few year old pile, and god, that soil was wonderful. Rich, black, easy to work, slow high carbon compost. This was in coastal California, so it wouldn't work in the dry regions.
And lastly a little question, I saw a company selling "Good King Henry" with a minimal description, is that the edible relative of plantain/White Man's Footsteps/snakeweed?
Cheers,
Bear K
