"A fascinating book written by a man who has devoted his life to working with nature and creating extraordinarily diverse polycultures. His work is breathtaking." - Maddie Harland, editor of Permaculture Magazine. Sepp Holzer's farm is more than 40 hectares of forest and farmland spread across a mountainside in the Austrian Alps at an altitude of between 1,200 and 1,500 meters above sea level. This amazing place stands in stark contrast to the dark spruce forests on the surrounding slopes with its incredible lace of terraces, high beds, ponds, water streams and neat buildings connected by a network of roads and paths. Instead of monoculture forests, the mountainsides are covered with fruit-bearing fruit forests and other lush vegetation - the most striking example of the real-life application of permaculture methods around the world. In this book Sepp Holzer reveals his approach and all the techniques for such a successful realization of a harmonious natural habitat for humans, plants and animals in detail and in all practical details. *Creating a permaculture system even at high altitudes *Growing a wide variety of vegetables and fruits best suited to the existing conditions *Use terraces, ponds and water streams as reflective surfaces to store solar heat in gardens and other structures *Creating special microclimate zones using rock outcrops and stone mounds *Building earthen shelters for animals kept in a pen system *Cultivating mushroom crops and much, much more....
