Glad to hear there's no exam - it's been a while since I pulled an all-nighter. Where's my No-Doz? :)
Since I am a major newbie, I don't have any favorite sites yet. I do want to explore some of the online info available though. I know IU-Bloomington teaches courses and I think there's an urban-based group in Chicago that I want to check out to get ideas for more "localized" plants. Yes, I agree about Fukuoka. And Mollison and Holmgren. I'm not sure how some of the other writers "rate" in terms of knowledge and implementation. The "intro" book is great because it somewhat lends itself to a few different landscapes and dwellings. Perhaps you know of a writer who can relate to North American gardeners? (you are far more well-read on this subject) Mollison does it a bit in his intro book but it might be more of a "big project" for a lot of general gardeners. I think if folks know that they can break the whole subject down into parts that they can implement easily or a step at a time, that would appeal to more folks. Every little bit helps the planet.
I'm just truly happy to find a forum with so much information at hand.
