hello fellow designers
i have recently become involved in a Permaculture project in Samoa. we have a resident scientist there who is avid that to further the acceptance of PC in Samoa case studies and statistics are needed. ok, i said we can do that too.
land intended for design and production is giving way to case studies for pointless yield confirmations.
so here is the first request to anyone out there. i am looking for any relevant data on coconut circles, ie: improved yield numbers, test sites any case studies, etc. we have already started planting over there.
all data i collect will be filed and posted where possible and appropriate.
thankyou for your valuable input.

What is a 'coconut circle'?
What are you trying to achieve?

a cocnut circle is a system of planting discussed in permaculture 1. basically you planting coconuts in rings or circles, up to 12 in a circle. system is great for harvesting and auto mulching. saves time and energy and probably more productive. im sure this is not new. just wondering if anyone has any relevant data.
