What of the lowly page number An Article by Marlon J. Ettinger theoutline.com Statement of intent, chronological guidepost, or cheap trick to inflate the length of a text, page number placement is anything but an afterthought.

The garden is a riot In conventional agriculture, vegetation is kept at the weed or herb level using energy to keep it cut, weeded, tilled, fetilised, and even burnt; that is, we are constantly setting the system back and incurring work and energy-costs when we stop natural succession from occurring. Instead of fighting this process, we can direct and accelerate it to build our own climax species in a shorter time. There is no attempt to form the garden into strict neat rows; it is a riot of shrubs, vines, garden beds, flowers, herbs, a few small trees, and even a small pond. Paths are sinuous, and garden beds might be round, key-holed, raised, spiraled, or sunken. Bill Mollison, Introduction to Permaculture 172. Garden Growing WildChef's Table: Jeong Kwan gardens
