Klappentext ADVENTURES ON THE ROAD TO REAL-WORLD SELF-SUFFICIENCY "…exactly what the title suggests: an enthusiastic, user-friendly guide to ecologically sensitive homesteading, using permaculture principles, for those who don't happen to have the money and opportunity to buy five or ten acres of perfect farmland." JOHN MICHAEL GREER, author, Green Wizardry "Sharing her hard-won lessons in permaculture with verve and intimate warmth, the author reveals the human side of building a new way of life: food, seeds, animals, weather and setbacks." PETER BANE, author, The Permaculture Handbook: Garden Farming for Town and Country DON'T LIVE IN the ideal climate or have access to wonderful soil or plentiful water? Author Jenni Blackmore presents a highly personal and entertaining account of how permaculture can be practiced in adverse conditions, distilling the wisdom of 20 years of trial and error into a valuable teaching tool. The perfect antidote to dense, high-level technical manuals, Permaculture for the Rest of Us presents the fundamental principles of permaculture in a humorous, accessible manner. Each chapter focuses on a specific method or technique, interspersing straightforward explanations with the author's own experiences. Anyone can learn to live more sustainably in a less-than-perfect world. Ideal for urban dreamers, suburbanites and country-dwellers alike, this inspirational and instructional "encouragement manual" is a must-have travel guide for the journey to abundance.
