new to permaculture

20 years ago

Hi all,

I am very new to the idea of permaculture, but have bought the book Gaia's Garden and think this is what I have been searching all my adult life for. I garden organically and have been unwittingly setting up my gardens this way for years already. I would love to get into a deeper understanding of all there is to do within this area.

g'day smitty,

you could do worse than read 'introduction to permaculture' by 'bill mollison with reany mia slay', this is a soft cover book he has a more diffinitive hard cover version but i found the former has more than enough ideas to get started with.

have a read let us know what you think.
