This thread (long overdue) will be used with some of the info we have on gardening, permaculture, other forms of farming (dairy and animal care), hydroponics, hunting etc. Hopefully we can get something good going with all the spread out topics we have on this issue. Perhaps linking to some of the medicinal plants you mentioned should be put on this thread MT. It will take time to get a good intro going for this so we can post on other sites.
Permaculture - Emilia Hazelip - Synergistic Garden (95) - 29 min - May 31, 2008
Quote:
An educational video on no-till synergistic gardening that describes the step-by-step processes developed by Emilia Hazelip to create an ecological agriculture. She became interested in Fukuoka's work in 1977 and this video shows the cultural and climatological adaptations she has developed in the course of years of research. A synergistic garden is an ecosystem that is consciously designed to allow all the dynamic life forms present in a wild soil to remain present while still growing crops (on whatever scale). It is that simple. But that's not the view commonly held in the sphere of science or in the politics of agribusiness which rule France. Emilia exclaims passionately: "The living world is not understood by the technician, and since it is not understood, it is not studied for its diversity. People always want to apply mechanical laws to it..." http://fukuokafarmingol.info/faemilia.html Very practical, highly recommended.
