Sunchokes also known as Jerusalem artichokes
Hugely productive plants; tubers and tops eaten by humans and stock.
Suitable for diabetics due to the indigestible carbohydrate inulin.
This also explains another name for them: fartichokes![]()

purple permaculture = permaculture with a metaphysical/spiritual/philosophical or less practical slant. often used here in a somewhat derogatory manner, though i personally am into exploring the depths of the deep purple shade of permaculture that i enjoy =)
brown permaculture = more of a nuts and bolts permaculture, methods and practical considerations, with specific techniques, without philosophical considerations

Many thanks Leila, I was rather curious why these particular colors have been assigned to these forms of permaculture, are there any associations with anything specific?

Based on the post leila referenced, it seems like paul heard the more spiritual, fairy dust permaculture people being called "purple breathers" so he jumped off of that. I don't think the colors mean anything other than that. Not 100% sure though.

Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity, and in cold weather becomes frozen: even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind.
