I know both Ross and Jenny Mars. He was the first person in Western Australia, AU to get an advanced degree in Permaculture. They are extremely nice and very knowledgeable. Great information in all their books. I highly recommend anything they write.

As I’m now starting in the permaculture, I really wanted a book that is practical, and gives you suggestions that could be useful and also easy to do. This book was the best! I was able put the principles in practice as I opened the book, simple but very effective information. Out of all the permaculture books that I have this one has been easy to use and with little skills and know how you could effectively put these tools to use. If you’re looking for a book to get you started this is the one to buy.

Rather than tackling the Designer’s Manual or even Permaculture in a Nutshell, go to this little book for a great hands-on approach to what Permaculture is about. You’ll be able to complete a few of the projects that afternoon.
