    Now I’m interested in the permaculture problematic? The moon and stuff never convinced me but from what I heard about permaculture it didn’t sound out of touch ?

          The issue is you can pretty much do anything and slap the label on it making the term essentially meaningless for the moment. That has the potential to do a lot of harm, especially if, let’s say used by a corporation to lobby for environmental deregulation to develop a piece of land as a hypothetical example. There are still a lot of unknowns as well. This basically mostly boils down to science needs more funding to explore the potential as there is promise in the weeds. Still a lot to learn, though.

        “less- or no-work gardening, bountiful yields, and the soft fuzzy glow of knowing that the garden will … live on without you” were often illusory.[

        maybe that’s why I never have tomatoes

      It’s basically a super fuzzy subject that changes as you want, and in so far as its useful it’s not new, and the parts that are new aren’t useful. Also, the guy who coined the term is a nutcase.
