Permaculture Guide

In this completely revised edition of her bestselling book, Rosemary Morrow confronts us with our need to measure, monitor, and reduce our ecological footprint. Permaculture is both a philosophy and a practical approach to land use, based on 3 values: caring for people, caring for the Earth and redistributing the surplus when our needs have been met. This direct and simple approach to achieving self-sufficiency as we care for and heal the Earth can be easily implemented by all of us. The Permaculture Guide you hold in your hands is a practical permaculture handbook. It shows step-by-step how we assess and design a permaculture garden of any size, whether it's a small balcony in the city center, a garden in the suburbs or a large country farm. This new edition includes chapters on saving seeds, permaculture at work, integrated pest management, information on household and farm water management, green management of weeds and wildlife, and smart design so we can meet emergency needs, such as a natural disaster.
