See what our friend, Novella Carpenter, is up to for New Year's:If someone's main aim is simply high yield (with high inputs for high outputs), or simplicity, then they'll be disappointed with "hippie permaculture jungles," since the latter are multifunctional, and include little items such as providing habitat, retaining soil, maintaining a functioning ecosystem, and in general sharing the planet with others, which means that sheer human food yields might be lower. And guess which one has a chance of being sustainable?
Increase productivity. This year, I’m creating French intensive beds. For awhile I was trying to do those hippie permaculture jungles, but I’m starting to see that for me, it isn’t as productive or easy to harvest as it could be.
