Growing a Permaculture Food Forest: How to Create a Garden Ecosystem You Only Plant Once But Can Harvest for Years

by Caleb Warnock

Overview

Planting your own garden can cut down your grocery bill, but few people have the time to cultivate a big harvest every year. Self-sufficiency expert Caleb Warnock shares his expertise in creating a permaculture food forest: a garden that you plant once and then leave in the hands of Mother Nature for years to come. Best of all, this natural, sustainable, and low-maintanance garden can succeed in any climate, and Growing a Permaculture Food Forest can show you how.

This compact guidebook includes:

• Lists of the best flowers & herbs for food forests
• Wild edibles for food forests
• What NOT to plant
• Sustainable harvesting, and
• So much more!

Seasonal planting and constant weeding are things of the past! With a permaculture food forest, you can feed your family with homegrown vegetables without all the fuss.

"This fantastic book explains which plants will not only come back each year, but many that will reseed and multiply themselves. A great book for anyone wanting to be a little more self reliant."
