i'm glad you enjoyed it. gardening by the way produces about 5 times the 
output of food per unit of land than petro-ag. when you also start to do 
ecological design and move away from annuals towards primarily 
perennials then you can cut out most of the work involved as it is done 
by the system for you. the agricultural component of permaculture is 
basically that, smart gardening, but it can be scaled up to much larger 
systems, like self-sustaining food forests.
