Permaculture Diary for a Beautiful 2009

A permaculture 'edge' garden, on the seashore, from the gorgeous and generative Permaculture Diary 2009.

I think you should buy this diary.
Sometimes Permaculture can look scruffy, but every inch of this diary has clarity, beauty and usefulness. Its virtue is probably contageous, it will change your life and connect you to good people. The wonderful Milkwood Permaculture site has already written a great Permaculture diary review here, so I don't have to.

Why did I buy twenty copies?
Because I like to support people doing things I admire, and usually, I like people who make the kind of things I admire. I was right: The author Michele Margolis, turned out to be an adorable woman, with a lovely turn of phrase. She took a risk in investing energy and money in creating something excellent, and got to hang out with all the most active people in Permaculture. Thats really living life.
Also I figure that if I'm not yet doing gallant, world-changing things, the second best thing is to support somebody who is. It then seeps in, by osmosis.
And, I want her project to succeed, so I can buy another gorgeous diary next year.
Buy one of me (I only have 3 left. I made new friends selling them, and I love making all the creative new friend I can get).
Even better, buy ten wholesale from Michele and make a little profit as you make your own new friends selling them or giving them as Christmas gifts. Better still, give them as thank-you gifts to the volunteers who work and learn from you in your garden.

Its all about making productive connections. I must remember that: making productive connections = alive. Thats what the biophysicists say anyway, and they've thought hard about such things.
