Permaculture is system design. It is guided by 3 ethics (and further guided by 12 design principles). It is so much more than gardening.

I reckon Marko had it right in his one liner:

The intentional planning, design and development of resilient, sustainable and integrated human settlements that mimic naturally-occuring ecosystems and processes.

gee,
I'm starting to wonder if Im on the right forum.

I thought the goal of permaculture was 'to get food grown where the people are'.
While I have only just started on this and trying to take small steps at a time, we are eating our own food more and more as we go.
Weeds??? yep, some plants are definitely in the wrong spot.

Is it just me or are the main detractors here the very ones who are not growing their own food/ not sharing what they are doing and how they are getting on,....

or are having to bail out??

feeling abit snippity now.

I agree with you & S.O.P. I guess I am goin back to my studies and work.
