Question of the Week:
“I’ve been looking into the different design systems I could use in establishing a new organic garden and food forest fruit orchard. I’ve heard about permaculture, biodynamic, and biointensive, but I’m really confused: What’s the difference between these three? And finally, which do you think would give me the best view on how to design my new garden in a functional way for the long-term? Thanks.”
