I just watched an interesting documentary, entitled Natural World: Farm For The Future. The director takes us on a journey to discover the most sustainable form of farming in the impending age of fossil fuel decline. The answer is PERMACULTURE. Permaculture uses design to produce an abundance of fruits and veggies with very little time and energy input.  There is no need for drudgery with horse and hand tools or synthetic fertilizers with heavy gas guzzling machinery. To top it off, permaculture gardening is FIVE times more productive than conventional farming. Check it out!
