Dear Lion, the above could not be farther from the truth. Indeed,
Permaculture (and yes I am one who holds a design certificate as well as a
graduate certificate from the Permaculture Institute) is the basis for your
so-called micro-farming scheme. The difference is, that there are tens of
thousands of permaculture practitioners around the world, and so far as I
can tell, based on your bashing of everyone else, you are the only
micro-farmer. That alone speaks volumes as to which system is most
sustainable thereby most attractive to small-scale agriculturists.
Your tirades are becoming a bit tiring. We are all willing to learn, but
your message is getting lost in your spew.
With all due respect,
Andy Lee
