5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent starting point for permaculture newbies,
By Freewanderer (Sri Lanka) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Earth User's Guide to Permaculture 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I stumbled across the Earth User's Guide to Permaculture when I was searching for good books on the topic as I was looking for material to help start our permaculture garden, and the good reviews I read online convinced me to buy it. And am I glad I did!
I only had a very general idea about permaculture, and most of it was "theoretical". There's a plethora of free information available online as to WHY permaculture, but there isn't much about HOW. This book is an excellent guide which addresses this need, explaining in a simple manner the varied and multi-faceted techniques and processes of creating and nurturing your own permaculture garden/farm. The book is divided in to 6 main sections: Part 1: An observing and appraising eye Part 2: Ecological themes in permaculture Part 3: Applying permaculture Part 4: Adding resilience to design Part 5: Social permaculture The first two parts talk extensively on the WHY of permaculture, and the next three sections talk about HOW in detail. If you are like me, a newbie to permaculture, this is the one book you should have on your shelf. I'm sure veterans too would find it quite useful.

This review is from: Earth User's Guide to Permaculture 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This is my favorite Permaculture book so far. I've read several, but "Earth User's Guide to Permaculture" seems to have the most practical, hands-on information. It is presented in an easy to understand format, with exercises that will help the reader gain the necessary skills. A wonderful overview of Permaculture.

Earth Users Guide to Permaculture,

This review is from: Earth User's Guide to Permaculture 2nd Edition (Paperback)
The author has had many years of international experience in training people
in all aspects of the permaculture philosophy and lifestyle. With global warming making the whole issue more pressing, the book is easy to read, covers all areas including disaster planning and shows how fulfilling is is to tread lightly on the earth and regain control of basic aspects of living. To become a permaculturist is to join a world-wide movement of individuals determined to leave the world a better place.
