It sounds like "Permaculture for the Absolute Beginner" by Dawn Raynes offers a comprehensive guide to starting and managing a garden successfully. Your review highlights the book's clear explanations and practical advice, making it appealing even to those who may not have had gardening plans initially. The mention of the lack of pictures is noted, but it's great to hear that didn't significantly impact your overall enjoyment and appreciation for the book. Thank you for the recommendation; I'm intrigued and will definitely consider adding it to my reading list!

Post by Tomy Chandrafrost »

When I was studying agriculture, most of the discussions were about chemistry. Perhaps only a few times did I hear about permaculture. This experience eventually led me to try to learn a little about permaculture from environmental activists and permaculture enthusiasts in Jogja. This book looks interesting and makes me even more eager to read it, especially after reading your review. Thank you for writing this review.
Your Sincerely
