From Booklist
Its origins may come from the Land Down Under, yet permaculture gardening is rapidly becoming a top-notch way of incorporating ancient practices into contemporary food production. With its goal of increasing garden productivity using ecologically safe methods long adopted by indigenous cultures worldwide, permaculture vegetable gardening can reap huge benefits everywhere, from backyards to balconies. Relinquishing the use of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides in favor of traditional methods that promote sustainable agriculture, permaculture promotes working with nature, rather than against it. Design concepts such as layering, horticultural practices such as planting in mutually beneficial communities, and ecological considerations such as soil enrichment and resource conservation take permaculture beyond methodology and into a committed philosophical approach to garden management. Along with detailed plans and lavish illustrations, Shein’s straightforward, practical guide describes techniques and deciphers terminology to encourage gardening practices built on principles of caring for the planet and sharing its bounty, whether one is feeding a family or a village. A worthy reference for those interested in ethical gardening. --Carol Haggas
