If so, does anyone know of a list oriented toward
practical questions, like how to expand my garden out into the clay and
shade of the rest of my yard?

I am new to this list and wonder if I am at the wrong party...I live
in the
suburbs, on a mostly shaded lot with clay soil, and have a small
(thousand
square feet) garden, a big compost pile, and about a dozen hens. I'm
interested in learning the practical art of permaculture as it
applies to
gardening and teaching it to my children, whom I homeschool. The
oldest has
moved out and plans to buy land for the purposes of permaculture. So is
this list more oriented toward farming than gardening, and more towards
discussions about the whys and wherefores and the big-picture
thinking than
about practical advice? If so, does anyone know of a list oriented
toward
practical questions, like how to expand my garden out into the clay and
shade of the rest of my yard? I have enjoyed the discussions thus far.
Thank you so much. Kathy in St. Louis, USA
