Summary

Adventures on the road to real-world self-sufficiency

Many of us want to increase our self-sufficiency, but few have access to the ideal five 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.

The perfect antidote to dense, high-level technical manuals, Permaculture for the Rest of Us presents the fundamental principles of this sometimes confusing concept in a humorous, friendly way. Each chapter focuses on a specific method or technique, interspersing straightforward explanations with the author's own experiences. Learn how to successfully retrofit even the smallest homestead using skills such as:

  • No-till vs. till gardening, composting, and soil-building
  • Natural pest control and integrating small livestock
  • Basic greenhouse construction
  • Harvesting, preservation, and more

Ideal for urban dreamers, suburbanites, and country dwellers alike, this inspirational and instructional "encouragement manual" documents the author's journey from adversity to abundance.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent

I listened in one go (whilst gardening, what else?) and found it interesting and informative without being in the least dogmatic. The style is humorous and self depreciating but the author's passion and accumulated knowledge and experience with permaculture shines through. The reader's performance felt just right to me, her voice seemed to fit the content and feel exactly.
