Anyone can grow their own food with permiculture

I love that anyone can learn permiculture and grow their own food in a permanent fashion. You really can eat healthy, save money, and not have to put in a lot of effort after it's established. It's great to make landscaping edible and practical as well as beautiful. I like the I can learn while driving to and from work

Ready to Re-Start My Ecosystem

I started my own garden in my backyard a few years ago and it had a lot of success that first summer. The year after that was not as good for sure, and last year was quite terrible. After listening to this very comprehensive audiobook, I am extremely confident that I will be able to restart and revamp my garden and have it flourish in the robust ecosystem that I intended from the start. There is so much amazing information in this book, you can't go wrong if you are just starting out, or restarting your garden like me. I really found chapter 12 to be very interesting that talked about collecting rainwater which I had never really considered before. Fantastic book!!

If you have a backyard take advantage of it

I like that it gives you ideas to transform any space you've got into a little garden. I am going to get my hands dirty

Since moving to a rural area outside Nashville, I've been dreaming of starting my own garden and growing my own food. 'Permaculture Gardening for the Absolute Beginner' was just the guide I needed. It's packed with valuable tips, making the process feel accessible and exciting. The chapters on soil science, planting schedules, composting, and planning to feed yourself year-round were eye-openers. The narrator's voice added so much to the experience, making it enjoyable to dive into permaculture.

A Garden Bursting Full Of Life

Permaculture Gardening for the Beginner will be a game-changer for anyone who wants to explore the world of sustainable gardening. From the very first page, you will be guided through the principles of permaculture and how to apply them in your own backyard, no matter how limited your space may be. I loved the “planting seeds” introduction, which felt important on more levels than one. It is a comprehensive and extensive listen but broken down by digestible wisdom. Listening to the audio felt casual, friendly, and down-to-earth. I greatly appreciated the author’s emphasis on working with nature rather than against it. As a person who has healed from Lyme disease using bee venom therapy (BVT), these are wise words. If I can handle thousands of bee stings, I should be able to get my hands dirty in the gardening game. I wish I had this book before COVID-19 hit the ground running. The practical tips, techniques, and bonus materials will serve you and may even spark a newfound passion for growing your own food in an eco-friendly way. If you’re looking for a GARDEN BURSTING FULL OF LIFE, this book is a must-have.

Learn with this Friendly and Comprehensive Guide

If you have imagined Permaculture to be a complicated and all-consuming system, this book may convince you, as it did me, to begin anywhere with small steps and learn. Entranced by M. Fukuoka with his one-straw revolution since the 1970s, I was waiting to try Permaculture until I had more space, time and confidence. PERMACULTURE GARDENING for the ABSOLUTE BEGINNER with its friendly manner and answers for everything has finally given me a start. Helping readers become Permaculturists is as much the mission of this book as providing us with the tools and information for effective gardening. We are part of the ecosystem that we will build even as we begin. From a single herb growing on the balcony to a farm with animals, all situations are covered, illustrated with numerous charts and references. I especially appreciate the detailed Table of Contents. Even though I have the hard copy, I appreciate that the audiobook is convenient and well narrated.

Exciting and Empowering!

I have never had a garden before, although both my parents were avid gardeners. We always had plenty extra to share with neighbors and lots of healthy veggies for the family. So, as an adult, I have wanted to live that healthy lifestyle again, but the basic row-by-row garden plan has been daunting for me. Way too much work with the busy life I live.

BUT I AM EXCITED NOW that I have this CLEARLY WRITTEN and WELL-ORGANIZED book. Gardening is doable now that I have a guidebook. I am on the road to a healthier life!

THANK YOU, JOSIE BECKHAM. I am getting pots this week. I can do this!

Highly recommend!

Just finished this book and it's a game-changer for newbies like me! The audiobook breaks down gardening into easy steps, offering 20+ techniques for any situation. The narrator's enthusiasm is infectious, making learning a joy. The emphasis on permaculture principles and natural solutions is empowering. If you're a beginner dreaming of a lush garden, this audiobook is a must-listen. Highly recommend!
