Whatever size yard or garden you have to work with, you can apply basic permaculture principles to make it more diverse, more natural, more productive, and more beautiful. Best of all, once it’s established, an ecological garden will reduce or eliminate most of the backbreaking work that’s needed to maintain the typical lawn and garden. Then you can start reading Kindle books on your smartphone, tablet, or computer - no Kindle device required. Put this book into action, and you'll begin to live an example that positively shifts your own community and beyond. Practical yet visionary, broad-ranging yet focused on the basics one needs to know, this is a great place to start on the permaculture path. The new edition builds solidly on the success of the first. They are here to stay and flourish.After obtaining a degree in biology from Tufts University, Toby worked for many years as a researcher in genetics and immunology, first in academic laboratories at Harvard and the University of Washington in Seattle, and then at Immunex, a major medical biotech company. At about the time he was growing dissatisfied with the direction biotechnology was taking, he discovered permaculture, a design approach based on ecological principles that creates sustainable landscapes, homes, and workplaces. A career change followed, and Toby and his wife spent ten years creating a rural permaculture site in southern Oregon. He was associate editor of Permaculture Activist, a journal of ecological design and sustainable culture, from 1999 to 2004. He taught permaculture and consulted and lectured on ecological design throughout the country, and his writing appeared in magazines such as Whole Earth Review, Natural Home, and Kitchen Gardener.

GC Top Contributor: Children's Books 5.0 out of 5 stars I lamented that I'd be too old to do it if we didn't hurry and move to a big property. Well, that time never came. Instead, I began where I was and went from there. I removed (and am still working on this tedious task) gravel from my predominantly desert landscape. The four mature dwarf fruit trees became my anchors instead of the headache I always deemed them at first. After digging holes in our heavy clay soil with an electric shovel, I planted espalier apples, vines, and citrus hedges along the house and fences. All digging since has been done via electric shovel. I removed bushes and replaced them with peaches, plums, figs, bay, and apples, summer-pruned according to Grow a Little Fruit Tree: Simple Pruning Techniques for Small-Space, Easy-Harvest Fruit Trees by Ann Ralph. I dug rainwater-capturing swales as described by Geoff Lawton. To increase fertility and conserve water, I deep mulched with alfalfa, straw, and compost similar to Gardening Without Work: For the Aging, the Busy, and the Indolent by Ruth Stout. The temperature in summer went from inferno to pleasantly warm after I changed the microclimate. As of today, I have 33-ish trees, bushes, and vines in my suburban backyard. Some are mature, while some won't produce for a couple more years. When that time comes, I'll have fresh homegrown fruit every month of the year with no need to preserve anything. I credit the first edition of Gaia's Garden for getting me started with this project and furthering my interest in permaculture. We eat like vegan kings around here.http://gleb777.com/fck_upload/food-stamp-manual-california.xmlAfter having spent the last two months reading it and applying tips from it, I wish I'd read the last chapter first since it summarizes everything. It takes the mountain of overwhelming knowledge and gives a simple path forward. Since reading this book, I have a more holistic view of my yard. I can see I've already made some mistakes in my yard, but it is exciting to begin to see results already. Instead of following the usual route of planting rows of veggies, I've started working on symbiotic blends of nitrogen fixers, vines, and other roles. Today I picked up a cheap bird feeder and post from a hardware store and put up a quick bird feeder over a dry, weedy patch in the back. I look forward to seeing how well the author's claim that doing this will lead to passive, ongoing returns in the form of birds' fertilizing the barren area with their poop and their weeding the area as some scratch around the ground looking for fallen seeds. His urban ideas are incredible, too. Don't miss out on that chapter, even though it's tucked in just before the end. Don't skip the observation step he gives in an incredible several pages and sidebar. While we did some of this work, I wish we'd done even more extensive up-front observation. It turned out we had to overhaul our plans once the people came out and marked the utility lines. They weren't where we thought they were originally. But I'm so glad this book showed us how to find out these things early on. It would be a shame to plant an expensive tree and pour water and resources into it only to have it uprooted later on. If there is one reason to buy this book, it's because it will shift your perspective away from seeing gardening as a chore with unending maintenance. Instead, by working with nature instead of against it, problems can become signals, temporary obstacles, or just part of the normal flow. The book is pragmatic, realistic, backed with science and research, and a lot of fun. Get it, read it, and try it out.https://labroclub.ru/blog/env-manual-gearbox-0This book is an absolute favorite of hers and she is soaking it up like a college class. She is doing her own backyard permaculture garden. In the heart of LA! Yay! Thank you God, amen!The book draws heavily on permaculture, Bill Mollison's ecological design methodology, only Hemenway explains it in a much more user-friendly and enjoyable way than Bill's Designers Manual. For instance, he clearly and concisely explains the different roles of a plant within a plant community, such as fixing nitrogen, producing mulch, attracting beneficial insects, repelling harmful insects, accumulating deep-down nutrients, etc. Then he suggests multiple species for each function, conveniently laid out in charts. I found the explanations of natural processes very enlightening, and the species charts very useful. I'd recommend this book to the laymen of ecology or anyone interested in gardening or organic food.That was a big mistake. There is so much information here that is so well presented.I should have started reading and absorbing this years ago. This is an ok problem to have, I think. I've got huge plans for our property and everything in this book resonates so perfectly with me and our vision. If you want simple, neat rows of veggies and flowers.there are other books for you. If you want a thriving, healthy, bio-diverse landscape (no matter how much room you have) get this book and start reading.It's a pretty heavy read, but worth it if you can put in the time to digest the theories. If you want a book to pick up and browse, to help with planning a garden or a quick guide to permaculture, then this book isn't for you. It doesn't even have many inspiring pictures to break up the endless text. I know this is a reccommended guide to permaculture, but for me, it just fell a bit short.However, I am totally convinced of the merits and principles of this approach. Caution: the book does require a reasonable level of literacy though. Highly recommended!My gripes with this book are partly to do with an American audience in mind as American examples are used throughout the book. From what I've read so far Permaculture in the UK climate is a slightly different game to more temperate climates. The second gripe is that the author just takes ages to get to the point, and often the text is very repetitive. It could quite easily be condensed and provide the same level of technical detail.I just wish I lived somewhere where I could use more of the suggested plantings. I am in Ireland, so many of the plants and trees would not survive here.The only difficulty for me is that some of the ideas need modification for the UK climate, eg mulch materials, so if you in UK you need to supplement it with a British book - but Charles Dowding or Patrick Whitefield more than make up that aspect.

Guilds, the author tells us, are groups of plants that function as an ecosystem to provide products for humans, create cover and food for wildlife, nourish the soil, conserve water, and repel pests. While Hemenway's ideas are intriguing, creating guilds specific to an area involves extensive research, which involves either observing plant communities in the wild or using books or university contacts. In addition, the author doesn't sufficiently explain how to incorporate the many sun-loving vegetables and flowers into guilds, which are often shade-oriented.

Allerion 2.0 out of 5 stars For starters, the editor should be fired. The book should be about 50 pages long. I wouldn't criticize for that if it only occurred a few times, but it is a substantial portion of the text. Ironically, a good amount of the introductory text is dedicated to how this isn't a hippie book, which could have been omitted if not for the hippie title. Once you understand basic ecology or the circle of life or whatever you would like to call it, you don't have to go back and romanticize about it every few pages.unless you are suffering through this book. I shelved this for months after reading it and then went back and reviewed it again before posting this because so many people love Gaia's Garden and I felt I must have just missed something. The opening paragraph of chapter 3 is an excellent example of the shortcomings of this book. In a normal text this would contain the thesis for the chapter, but in this book it starts by saying that gardening books contain advice (paraphrase) and then rambles to the end of the paragraph and says that this book is not like those other books. Apparently it is not, since there is no advice to be found in that paragraph. My first impulse was to X it out with a red pen and send it back to the author.but by chapter three your red pen will surely be out of ink. After all that bashing.there are a few good things in this book. There is a pretty decent appendix of plants listed by zone and purpose at the back. If you are truly interested in a permaculture education, you can far surpass the scope of this book by listening to The Survival Podcast downloads pertaining to permaculture (about 30 of their total content.especially in the last year)combined with visiting the Permiculture Research Institute ( ) or just surfing around youtube for permaculture videos. Echo International is also a charity dedicated to feeding the poor, but they do it via agricultural technology that most people interested in this book will recognize as permaculture. They have excellent published materials as well as a nursery full of hardy edible plants, though most are for zones 9-11. All three of those resources also explore aquaculture and urban permaculture. This book contains little beyond an introduction to permaculture, which can be obtained for free and in a much more streamlined form online.It has a lot of information that answered some of my gardening questions. Even though I have been gardening for a few years, it has informed me in many ways and exposed me to some very good ideas.This is an excellent reference book about permaculture. The Why. The how. This is applicable to many different situations, although, it would seem to be most applicable to those who have more than just a house on a typical small urban building lot. Not that you can't implement some of these changes even there to help create a great personal environment. And before you begin any of these projects, make sure you have your family's support. I got shot down as soon as I opened by mouth. Once started and going, pretty self-sustaining, which is the point. Wish I could get there. Wish we could ALL get there.I'm currently enjoying the book during my lunch break at work.and I DO mean enjoying. Toby has a very considered yet easy-flowing way with words, and even though there is much to understand, I've never felt overwhelmed. It has both quality AND quantity.Toby describes a luscious environment that we can create right where we live, whether urban, suburban or rural. He encourages imaginative planning built on the basic permaculture principles. I have given away numerous copies to friends because this book is so accessible and so good!Turning over compost piles every week is not for you. See his section on sheet composting. Read Hemenway's description of taking a shower, then tearing outside in a towel to see the water drain out through a rocky stream. This book is full of concepts and inspirations that will not only make gardening a little easier but will also improve the land you live on, help you achieve greater self-sufficiency and create sanctuary for beneficial critters. And here is a major plus: Toby Hemenway, unlike other permaculture authors, actually has a sense of humor. An enjoyable read on the one hand and a basic gardening manual for the rest of your life.Explains how the outdoor area is organized into zones which helps make it much easier to plan. Vendor had it to me in a timely manner, great deal!Very useful to anyone who wishes to learn more on this very important subject.Page 1 of 1 Start over Page 1 of 1 Previous page Next page.

Key features include: - use of compatible perennials; - non-invasive planting techniques; - emphasis on biodiversity; - specifically adaptable to local climate, landscape, and soil conditions; - highly productive output of edibles. Now, picture your backyard as one incredibly lush garden, filled with edible flowers, bursting with fruit and berries, and carpeted with scented herbs and tangy salad greens. The visual impact is of Monet's palette, a wash of color, texture, and hue. But this is no still life. The flowers nurture endangered pollinators. Bright-featured songbirds feed on abundant berries and gather twigs for their nests. The plants themselves are grouped in natural communities, where each species plays a role in building soil, deterring pests, storing nutrients, and luring beneficial insects. And finally, you—good ol' homo sapiens—are an integral part of the scene. Your garden tools are resting against a nearby tree, and have a slight patina of rust, because this garden requires so little maintenance. You recline into a hammock to admire your work. You have created a garden paradise. This is no dream, but rather an ecological garden, which takes the principles of permaculture and applies them on a home-scale. There is nothing technical, intrusive, secretive, or expensive about this form of gardening. All that is required is some botanical knowledge (which is in this book) and a mindset that defines a backyard paradise as something other than a carpet of grass fed by MiracleGro. To see what your friends thought of this book,Gaia's Garden stands above these books for its general appeal, a guidebook in clear, flowing language for understanding and working with the ecology of cultivated environments. Toby. Food Not Lawns for the punks and the community organizers, The Urban Homestead for the busy, The Transition Companion for the big picture people and Toolbox for Sustainable Living for the tinkerers. Gaia's Garden stands above these books for its general appeal, a guidebook in clear, flowing language for understanding and working with the ecology of cultivated environments. Toby Hemenway distilled a lot of overwhelming disciplines, including a lot of science, into a neat, easy to follow course here. Hemenway uses ecology, botany, biology, and chemistry to explain how to reason garden design yourself. Permaculture is about understanding the interactions of systems in nature and then implementing soil, water, and perennial plant designs that replicate natural ecological communities, so that that your design basically allows the feedback loops and natural processes inherent in your garden to do the rough gardening work of watering, fertilizing, planting, and surviving weather shocks. With a well-designed and carefully crafted permaculture garden, the garden should require few or no outside inputs, allowing for lazy gardeners and lush, bounteous harvests (though the gardener is still responsible for picking, so don't get too lazy). The best part of this book is the way Hemenway teaches the critical thinking skills to apply permaculture principles in many different settings. Then he teases out the differences and asks what are the different plants reacting to and why. So the reader gains general tools and also the skill to apply them, with the added bonus that most examples were chosen for their relevance to North American climate and soil, so US-based readers can try them out first before striking out on their own designs. What really makes this book pop are the last few chapters on guilds and food forests. Finally an approachable guide to directly replicating natural plant communities. Hemenway examines how to figure out what plant communities grow in the habitat where you live, and how to substitute related species with human uses for the usual, natural species found in that ecosystem. I love this because it is awesome. I also love this because it encourages the gardener to go out and understand local forests and maybe even learn to forage while also learning to cultivate the same ecological structures that local wildlife need for survival (wildlife here including bugs and birds), turning the home gardener from someone kind of reducing the overall burden on agricultural land (freeing some up for wildlife habitat, maybe) to someone actually creating a native habitat oasis where they get their food. Ah! I love it. Love it! I already made my mom read this book, and I really want everyone else in the world to read it too. I'm already starting a slow, skimming re-read to guide my garden design for next year. This year I read half of this (plus about a dozen other homesteading garden books) by March, and then in the spring we built a sheet-mulched raised bed and a pretty epic potted garden, with the main goal of creating soil. Not much thought went into plant choice or placement. Next year, the perennial planting will begin, with Hemenway as the main guide.

Thank you, Toby Hemenway, for writing such a rockin' book. I think it's also worth mentioning that this book is probably one of the most influential ones among sustainable gardeners and permaculture enthusiasts. If you want a broad understanding of what this movement is all about, this book is an excellent place to start. As a designer, it completely changed my way of seeing landscaping and what a landscape should look like and work like. This book teaches the basics of permaculture in a practical, non preachy way. It helps you design a forest garden, gives you the bases to work with large scale gardens and small scale gardens -though the actual small scale gardens could use m As a designer, it completely changed my way of seeing landscaping and what a landscape should look like and work like. It helps you design a forest garden, gives you the bases to work with large scale gardens and small scale gardens -though the actual small scale gardens could use more information, I'm sure there's other books on small spaces. What's important is that once you understand the principles -the major one can be summed up in: nature is doing fine without you, maybe you should let her do her thing- the garden looks like a completely different canvas. It's not 'how can it look good?' but 'what is missing in this ecosystem?'. Why wasn't I thinking about gardens as ecosystems? This is definitely part of what is missing in our designers, landscapers and architects education. Until we ask ourselves, what is nature doing and how can I emulate it, we're going to keep hitting the same walls, investing time, energy and resources in our gardens and houses and cities, and we're gonna keep trying to invent solutions for problems we created ourselves. So let's focus on my problems with the whole movement, in re gardening, which is this book's focus. I'll probably be ranting before I'm done. 1. There is nothing original in the ideas of permaculture gardening.So let's focus on my problems with the whole movement, in re gardening, which is this book's focus. I'll probably be ranting before I'm done. 1. There is nothing original in the ideas of permaculture gardening. There's plenty of that disconnect in this book. 3. Permaculture is cultlike in general and in many details and trends. I'm sick of hearing about it. You had perfectly nice dock and chicory in your yard, but hey, comfrey is IN. This book, which you can probably get from your library for free, is equivalent to one, so bypass the classes and read this instead. The whole movement is really bourgeois, and this book is full of that 'tude. Seldom are those women referenced (One line in this book mentions Stout.) None of those women got rich off the core ideas. Nope. A bunch of men came along and capitalized on the ideas. Maybe other people are eating them after they've fermented. Or can tomatoes get ergot?) They talk about unscientific crap like focusing our mental energy to create some physical change in the world or about comets out at the orbit of Jupiter changing your gardening experience in Witchita or about solar minimums and the End Times, and oh my god, it's Wackdoodle Central. Not, not every one of them is so bad. (I would refer you, for instance, to the sensible Nova Scotian who posts there as Maritime Gardener or to One Yard Revolution's moribund channel.) But a majority of them are more than a little crazy. How can I believe in anything these people say when 75 of them have clearly let their avocado slip off their toast. The internet is the griddiest grid that ever gridded. But anyway, enough bitching about the movement and onto this book in particular. I did get a list of plants beyond comfrey that have deep taproots that I can use to chop and drop for mulch and that I can start from plants or seed I can get cheaply or already grow and can propagate to that end. He relied too much on his own two properties for examples. If you have drunk the permaculture kool-aid with a total lack of critical thinking, this is a four-star book, I'm sure. If you're a skeptic like I am, if you notice internal inconsistencies between permaculture's stated principles and practices, it's maybe 2.5 stars. Negative 1.5 stars of that is really a critique of permaculture as a movement, not of this author in particular. He's parroting the party line. It's just that I see a bunch of stuff wrong with the party line. As I dream of my own fruit orchard, I want to lay it out as recommended in this book: with bird and insect attracting shrubs (to deter fruit tree predators without spraying) and nitrogen-fixing plants (to lesson the need for fertilizers) and mulching plants (to decrease the watering needs). I love the idea of planning out my landscape so it takes care of itself (as much as possible). I was afraid I'd be hearing about Mother Earth, nature's balance, and the perfect harmony with which indigenous peoples once lived. The book still has an odor of this, but if you sift through it you get some tremendously helpful information for the new-to-permaculture gardener. In section three I found exactly what I needed: a spreadsheet of recommende. I almost passed by this one because I found the title off-putting. I was afraid I'd be hearing about Mother Earth, nature's balance, and the perfect harmony with which indigenous peoples once lived. In section three I found exactly what I needed: a spreadsheet of recommended plants, their useful functions, their needs and habits, and suggested companions. I now know what to plant in the bare, unhealthy, weed-prone soil below my pear tree. Permaculture to be ecologically-responsible needs to focus on knowing, using and growing the plants of a particular locale with some non-invasive exotics added. Planting non-native plants simply continues the destruction of an ecosystem. The native plants of North American with a few exceptions have been ignored as food and medicine.
