<DIV>Richard, </DIV>
<DIV> Great web site, and I've only scanned the first
page so far. Their principals were built into my concept of a " Carefree
Lnadscape." 30 years ago. When Chemlawn was spraying whole lawns with lots of
chemicals, I talked to Ohio State people at a recertification seminar about how
I used a hand sprayer and just hit the problem spots.</DIV>
<DIV> The next year they started promoting a
program called " IPM" or "intigrated pest management". That concept really upset
the chemical industrial complex, but it was a great approach to meeting Mother
Nature halfway. A lot of PhD''s work on 1000's of plant pests life
cycles, was suddenly unleashed from the closets and into the environment.
It was the great awakening of the modern farming era. I had heard of the term
Permiculture but didn't pay much attention ot it. I guess they have a name for
it all now. I just called it the re- search for Shangri- La. </DIV>
<DIV> The key to getting my idea across, is that I
explained how much money and time I was saving over just dumping chemicals
randomly to see what worked. I spent the next 30 years learning how not to use
chemicals. I've only scratched the surface. </DIV>

<DIV>Re intensive agriculture, take a look at this site. Its run by a
(US) american Stacia and her Danish hubbie, Kristof, Nordeen. At
one time they ran something called the Malawi permaculture institute. It
started in their backyard when we first saw them in ? 95 but they stuck with
it and they enjoy a pretty large network today. As I googled it a few minutes
ago I did not find that specific insitute but I did find this with their names
attached:

<DIV>What is more important is that the participation amongst Malawians has
grown immensly…Thats the hard part to establish and thats what is all
about.<BR>
