Permaculture is both a philosophy and a practical approach to land use. It takes natural systems as a model, draws on many disciplines and involves consciously designing landscapes which are productive, efficient and ecologically sustainable.
This book is an informative and practical guide to permaculture. By working through a series of practical exercises and following real-life examples, you will learn how to design a permaculture system on your land. Whether you own an inner-city balcony, a garden in the suburbs, or a farm in the country, you will find this book a useful guide to developing a more sustainable lifestyle.
You will also learn how to build a sheet-mulch vegetable garden, reduce your energy consumption, raise poultry and bees, create a food forest, design an aquaculture system, conserve water, and generally improve the quality of your life.
