You couldn't imagine a more inhospitable place to try and establish productive plant growth. When Geoff Lawton first began the attempt, people laughed at him and said it couldn't be done. They laughed even harder when they saw all the "non-productive" hardy legumes he planted first. But Geoff had the last laugh when his Permaculture methods bore fruit, even to the extent of removing active salt from the soil.
