Permaculture is an important but often misunderstood method
of growing food and building homes in a manner that works
with nature, rather than against it, to create beautiful, healthy, and
useful gardens. Blending ecology, organic agriculture, green home
design, appropriate technology, and biology can be confusing and
overwhelming, but The Ultimate Guide to Permaculture simplifies
this vast field for practical application. This is a hands-on guide,
taking the beginner through each step of the design process, so that
anyone can apply permaculture principles to their own life. While
the principles are simple, the in-depth topics cover every aspect of
permaculture, including:- Building green homes and passive solar design
- Growing edible plant communities and forest gardens
- Using no-till and natural farming methods
- Creating microclimates for extended growing seasons
- Raising livestock with ecological foraging techniques
This is a common-sense approach to sustainable living that creates
a self-sufficient and low-effort home for the people that live there,
whether in the city or the country. The Ultimate Guide to Permaculture
isn't a philosophy book, or a dissertation on theory. It is a
step‐by‐step, complete guide to every aspect of permaculture.
