"2020 was one of the hottest years ever recorded. Temperatures are on the rise at a fast pace, putting the future of our planet at risk. Do you want to do your bit to help?

According to the Consultative group on International Agriculture Research, Modern agriculture is one of the biggest emitters of carbon dioxide; combined with forestry, it's responsible for up to a third of all emissions. And the cracks are starting to show; the storms more frequent and destructive and the weather more unpredictable than you remember it as a kid. You know we need to act fast and work together to tackle this. You've cut down your use of plastic and meat consumption. But you want to do more. Whether you're an apartment dweller or the proud owner of a large piece of land, permaculture principles can help you get the best out of your garden. But it's also about helping to save the planet. Even if you're only able to grow your own tomatoes and strawberries this summer, you're cutting your carbon footprint - no transport, no logistics, no fertilizers or pesticides, just your own 100% organic fruit and vegetables.

Learning about permaculture and incorporating it into your life will help you realize your dream of living a sustainable life and doing that extra bit to help the future of the planet. In 'Creating your Permaculture Heaven', you'll learn: -The main principles of permaculture;-How not to waste water;-How we can provide soil with the nutrients it needs to grow all our delicious fruit & veg;-How to keep those pesty slugs away from your lovely green vegetables; -Which plants work well together and which don't;-How you can realize your dream of having your own food forestAnd 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 learnt into practice!

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. 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. So if you want to be the proud owner of lots of home-grown fruit & vegetables and do your bit to help the planet at the same time, then scroll up and click the ""Add to Cart"" button now!"

Reviews for Creating Your Permaculture Heaven: How to design and create your own backyard food forest

A through and enlightening book about permaculture. Very detailed and easy to follow. Will take you from beginner to completion of your permaculture garden. A must read for everyone with an interest in growing plants. Learn the basics of Permaculture without getting bogged down by lots of theory. The book is designed to get you interacting with your environment and the exercises included with each chapter lead you down the path toward creating your own permaculture design. The charts at the back of the book have lots of useful information to get you started. This is a very approachable book that beginners can dive into and also a great one-volume resource for more advanced permaculture practitioners. It's a great value for the money. I have been reading many permaculture books in the past few years and really liked this one! The organization of the book is intuitive and I liked the simple, but effective graphics as well. It contains much of the information found in other popular books and would be a good general starting place for those just getting interested in designing their permaculture gardens/food forests.
