Creating Your Permaculture Heaven

How to Design and Create Your Own Backyard Food Forest

By: Nydia Needham

Narrated by: Stephanie Barry

As the famous permaculturist Bill Mollison said, “Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.” And permaculture goes a long way toward this; it's a way to use natural systems and processes to help you get the most from your garden in the most efficient way possible, with nature doing most of the watering, fertilizing, and pest control for you.

In Creating Your Permaculture Heaven, you’ll learn:

• The main principles of permaculture
• How to make use of every bit of water that is given to us
• Why humans wouldn’t exist without soil and how we can provide it with the nutrients it needs to grow all our delicious fruit and vegetables
• How to keep those pesty slugs away from your lovely green vegetables
• Which plants work well together and which hate the sight of each other
• How you can realize your dream of having your own food forest with your favorite fruits and veggies
• How you can reap even more rewards from your garden to give you a little extra pocket money
• How to attract bees to your garden or even make honey

And much more!

As a free bonus, there are some fun exercises for you at the end of each chapter to help you put what you have learned into practice!

You may think you don’t have the time or the money to start a big permaculture project. But permaculture doesn’t need to be overwhelming. You can start as small as you like, and you can move at a pace that suits you. Don’t feel you have to learn everything in one go and rush out to transform a whole wilderness in a year. Just deal in manageable chunks, and you’ll do just fine.

Even if all you have done is tend to a few tomato plants on your window ledge, you can become an expert gardener; all it takes is a little time, patience, and practice. And remember, we have all made mistakes along the way.

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

An in-depth intro to permaculture

This audiobook provides such a great in-depth explanation and introduction to permaculture. It goes through the best efficient and cost effective ways to utilise your garden and create a personalised food forest. I also really enjoyed the free bonus exercises to help consolidate what I've learned and use my newfound knowledge into permaculture to help others, particularly my nana.

Such a fun book!

This book is so much fun! Learning the ins and outs of how to create a beautiful permaculture garden through storytelling made this book enjoyable to listen to from beginning to end. A lot of things that we think are helping our progress turns out to be hurting it and vice versa. I recommend this book to anyone looking to design a permaculture paradise!

I can't wait to do this!

I'm a really keen gardener and just about to move to a bigger house with a bigger garden. Given the increased cost of living and environmental factors I feel it's so important to become more self sufficient in our own food and not eat mass produced fruit and vegetables if I can avoid it. This book is full of useful info and facts that have made me feel so much more confident and knowledgeable. I've heard about permaculture but now I understand it so much more! I now know just how important the quality of soil is and how it will affect the garden. I also really like the chapter on how to make money from your garden. Great book all round and I loved listening to it!
