Hi Chris! I do remember you, of course. Glad you discovered the Survival podcast Dave participated in. It was very informative. Glad you've come to visit us.
Now, about the permaculture versions of shrubs and vines. I don't know about this method and I'm hoping someone will stop by with some useful information. I can suggest, too, that you have a look around at the other forums for some help. I'll see what I can find, too.
Glad you're here. There is lots of good information with so many of the folks from DG now sharing here.
Susie
