Sinopsis

Adventures on the road to real-world self-sufficiencyáMany of us want to increase our self-sufficiency, but few have access to the ideal 5 sunny, gently-sloping acres of rich, loamy, well-drained soil. Jenni Blackmore presents a highly entertaining, personal account of how permaculture can be practiced in adverse conditions, allowing anyone to learn to live more sustainably in a less-than-perfect world. With a rallying cry of 'If we can do it, you can too,' she distills the wisdom of 20 years of trial and error into a valuable teaching tool.áThe perfect antidote to dense, high-level technical manuals,áPermaculture for the Rest of Usápresents the fundamental principles of this sometimes confusing concept in a humorous, reader-friendly way. Each chapter focuses on a specific method or technique, interspersing straightforward explanations with the authorâÇÖs own experiences. Learn how to successfully retrofit even the smallest homestead using skills such as:áNo-till vs. till gardening, composting and soil-buildingáNatural pest control and integrating small livestockáBasic greenhouse constructionáHarvesting, preservation and more.áIdeal for urban dreamers, suburbanites and country-dwellers alike, this inspirational and instructional 'encouragement manual' is packed with vibrant photographs documenting the authorâÇÖs journey from adversity to abundance.
