Permaculture Gardening Handbook

Permaculture made easy! Discover how you can create a sustainable garden in just 9 simple steps... Gardening remains one of the most prominent trends in the world right now, existing in many forms, shapes, and even sizes - ranging from something as simple as a lawn to purpose-built kitchen gardens, orchards, and more. However, in all these versions, there is one element that hardly gets addressed: sustainability. Conventional gardening practices - for something as simple as planting herbs or growing vegetables - might be green but are not truly eco-friendly. Excess water consumption and waste, soil degradation, and chemical pollutants all create a combined effect that hurts the environment that you live in. And this is where permaculture comes into play. Developed in the 1970s, permaculture is what you’d call a holistic practice, aimed at not only providing food security to individuals and communities but also restoring nature as a whole. Permaculture is all about imitating nature to develop a sustainable ecosystem that gives back to nature more than it takes away, all without using any damaging gardening or farming practices. In short, it’s a truly green practice in every sense. Thankfully, it doesn’t take much to start your own sustainable permaculture garden - no matter your skill level.
