Maybe the whole topic is above my head. I did read in the article:

Gardens are not only more productive than agriculture, they are less damaging to the environment. Of course, some gardening strategies are more productive and protective of the environment than others. Defining those strategies is what permaculture is about. Permaculturalists prefer non-cultivation techniques.

My gardens are full of herbs, medicinal plants, veggies, and I compost regularly. The gardens pretty much take care of themselves at this point. I'm the only house in the village that has toads, frogs, snakes, turtles, rabbits, chippers, red squirrels, birds,etc. living here comfortably and we're all being fed by my gardens. Is that not permaculture to some degree?
