Permaculture is a way of developing a landscape that is relatively sustainable, yet still productive. It may take time to build up the soil and get plants growing in harmony with each other; but eventually a successful permaculture system can provide food and perhaps other things to harvest and use. In time, mother nature largely looks after a permaculture landscape with minimal work or intervention from you. This is an ethical and ultimately very rewarding way of producing edibles, and also surrounding yourself with an uplifting and interesting home environment.

This book is designed to show you how you can take the idea of permaculture and apply it at home, even when the amount of outdoor space available to you is very small.
