Perfect Introduction

I'm hooked. Didn't know the first thing about permaculture before reading this book but you can be sure this won't be the last book I read on the subject.

Sustainability

I initially thought of permaculture as just dealing with plants. I now have a better understanding of permaculture and sustained able living.

Not really helpful.

I thought there would be more information about the types of plants that work well in a permaculture. Very repetitive and dull read.

So basic as to be almost useless.
