Product Description
Permaculture experts Ross and Jenny Mars outline the steps to transform your garden into a productive living system. Modeled upon the development of Candlelight Farm, and illustrated with photographs, this guide encourages the reader to make positive steps towards reconciling human impact with nature following the permaculture ideal.
Permaculture is based on the ethics of caring for people and our planet. It is about growing your own healthy food, being resourceful and environmentally responsible. Permaculture concepts and ideas can be applied successfully from small suburban units to large farming properties.
Getting Started in Permaculture delivers step-by-step knowledge for a variety of useful projects including: making herb fertilizers, compost, organic sprays for pest control, and much, much more. It also includes how to recycle your soft drink bottles, waste paper, and tires in a number of useful projects such as ponds, fruit fly traps, retailing walls, and solar stills.
As part of Permanent Publications Simple Living Series, this practical and accessible guide for gardeners of all skill levels serves as an ideal introduction to the world of permaculture.

 Getting Started In Permaculture August 27, 2010
D. Aldrete (USA)
If you want to skip all the theory (most of it) this is the perfect book for you. It gives you a lot of ideas to star now. I only give it three stars because after browsing through it you'll be left wanting more (maybe this is a good thing) and eventually go out and get another permaculture book. I recommend starting with Gaia's Garden instead, it gives you both theory (without being overwhelming) and practice in a much nicer presentation and depth.

This is an excellent very thin book. Great start but I expected there to be more!

As I'm now starting in the permaculture, I really wanted a book that is practical, and gives you suggestions that could be useful and also easy to do. This book was the best! I was able put the principles in practice as I opened the book, simple but very effective information. Out of all the permaculture books that I have this one has been easy to use and with little skills and know how you could effectively put these tools to use. If you're looking for a book to get you started this is the one to buy.
