Hi Jon You will get more production out a curvedline than a straight line. Permaculture is fascinating in that itteaches us to look at nature's non-linearsystems, and understand the patterns ofnatural phenomena. This video looks at the idea that nature'spatterns allow for maximum accessibilityand minimum amount of path. Planting in circles instead of rows is apractical use of this concept.
