The internationally renowned ‘rebel farmer’ shares a lifetime’s worth of skill and knowledge on permaculture gardening and farming.
Sepp Holzer farms steep mountainsides in Austria, 1,500 meters above sea level. His farm is an intricate network of terraces, raised beds, ponds, waterways and tracks, productive fruit trees, and other vegetation. A farmhouse nestles neatly amongst them. This is in dramatic contrast to his neighbors’ spruce monocultures.
In this farming and gardening book, Holzer shares the skill and knowledge acquired over his lifetime. He covers every aspect of his farming methods—not just how to create a holistic system on the farm itself, but how to make a living from it. Holzer writes about everything from the overall concepts, down to the practical details.
Readers will learn:
• How Holzer sets up a permaculture system
• The fruit varieties he has found best for permaculture growing
• How to construct terraces, ponds, and waterways
• How to build shelters for animals and how to work with them on the land
• How to cultivate edible mushrooms in the garden and on the farm
• And much more!
Holzer offers a wealth of information for the gardener, smallholder or alternative farmer yet the book’s greatest value is the attitudes it teaches. He reveals the thinking processes based on principles found in nature that create his productive systems. These can be applied anywhere.
