Now see, if you used a heritage breed of pig they’d be throwing down roots left and right. Even better if you used the genetic predecessor

I hear a lot about pigs rooting, I bet they're gonna win that comparison.

If pigs had roots I'd eat them.

Economically viable perennial wheats are probably a decade or two (at least!) into the future. Afaik, the state of the art is ~half yield compared to just growing some wheat.

Taking your point that different plants have different uses (perennial grasses just need a middlebeast to provide food for humans




), the implication of the OP isn’t accurate—annuals can have impressive roots, too. Rye roots run 4ft deep, annual ryegrass down to 6-7ft. -
The impulse of permaculturists to declare themselves Team Perennial is just weird to me. There are tons of annuals in nature, they’re a part of ecosystems, why do they get no love?

This is a post referencing why the dust bowl happened, isn't it? The deep-rooted grasses were replaced by crops with shallow roots which were then uprooted by the wind.
