Re: [permaculture] Re: Does Permaculture have to be so expensive???




In reply to Xavier's comment about why not scheduling one here, for me right now it
would be way too much work to organize something like that.  I've  just come off of a
one-year process organizing an ecopsychology conference (which was only a weekend!) and
have to catch up on farm work because of it.  Even though I could get some farm labor
out of the deal, I have to think whether the time, energy, planning, missing of chores
is worth it.
