409 Ross Mars

Boxed set of three bestselling suspense stories by Lindsey Stiles
Many over 50 according to the cover different projects you could do to encourage your permaculture garden Some are simple, like converting milk jugs into scoops and some are complicated, like making paper The authors want you to reuse, so many of these projects could be free or cheap However, the book is written by Australians and the metric systems references can be confusing I don t blame them for this confusion, I blame the US and our inability to make the transition the rest of the world ha [...]
This book had some good ideas and projects listed, but others were less great The first few projects include uses for reusing tires While I applaud the idea of reuse and recycling there have been some concerns recently about the chemicals produced and leached into the soils as the tires degrade and I would want a little info before I planted food in beds made from used tires The tree planting advice is rife with too nice syndrome.
This is on its way back to the library They have some good ideas for DIY home projects for recycled materials, but a lot of them include tires which isn t so environmentally friendly, otherwise, I d be using them for tomatoes every year I expected
what I liked here was a discussion of getting into the principles of permaculture before starting your permaculture garden, that is, how to apply permaculture to other aspects of your life.
This book is small and full of projects, but is for real beginner I just started reading about permaculture a week ago and I was too advanced for this book.
I great beginners book Good place to start.
