His farm is an intricate network of terraces, raised beds, ponds, waterways and tracks, well covered with productive fruit trees and other vegetation, with the farmhouse neatly nestling amongst them. This is in dramatic contrast to his neighbors' spruce monocultures.In this 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.In \u003cem\u003eSepp Holzer's Permaculture\u003c\/em\u003ereaders will learn: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow he sets up a permaculture system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fruit varieties he has found best for permaculture growing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to construct terraces, ponds, and waterways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to build shelters for animals and how to work with them on the land\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to cultivate edible mushrooms in the garden and on the farm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand much more \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eHolzer offers a wealth of information for the gardener, smallholder or alternative farmer yet the book's greatest value is the attitudes it teaches.
