Hi all, permiculture is a portmentoe on horticulture and perminent. A
permiculturists is someone who practices permiculture in their gardens.
Permiculture itself is the practice in gardening of growing edable plants
next to flowers that are compatable with each other and also benifit each
other in some way also in the smallest space that each plant can grow in
without getting root bound or cramped in any way, shape or form. There are
many resources on the internet for ideas. Google is a good place to start. I
do most of my plant research through Google searches. There is Horticulture
Magazine and a whole section of gardening books on BARD, Better Home and
Gardens on Newsline, gardening books on Learning Alley and I'm sure that
there are more gardening books elsewhere on the accessable format book
market for ideas. There is one book that isn't anywhere on the accessable
format book market that is a really good resource for gardeners is called
The Western Book of Gardening, the 2006 addition by Sunset Publishing. I
have hunted for that book for at least a month last year but had no luck. I
needed it because it was required for my education at Sunnyside Organics
which is the place that I currently work at. I looked at the resources that
I had and had a friend look for it it the resources that she had and I even
contacted the publisher who sent me back to the NLS who I checked with on
all levels twice before but not a corner of that book was found anywhere on
the accessable format book market. I have to borrow a pair of eyes if I wish
to get information from that particular book. When I am at home, I use the
internet, the two magazines that I listed above or other books to gain
simular information. As for wishis about rain, I live in Oregon which gets a
lot of rain during the fall, winter and spring. If you wish to get more
rain, how about looking to the northwest to live in? Most Oregonians get
sick and tired of the rain.
