About this listen

Do you wish to build an affordable, sustainable, low-maintenance, and abundant garden?

Permaculture makes the most use of what nature provides for us by using specific design strategies to maximize nature’s gifts such as food, energy, and shelter. A counter to heavy industrial farming, permaculture is all about conscious planning that caters to the human needs while also respecting and healing the natural environment.

At its core, it involves drawing inspiration from nature to build an ecosystem that thrives just like a natural forest, grassland, or any other such ecosystem.

In Think Like an Ecosystem, you’ll discover:

  • A comprehensive nine-step guide to practicing and implementing permaculture (curated for beginners)
  • The 12 crucial principles of permaculture—observe and replicate nature’s finest solutions to maximize efficiency
  • A beginner-friendly guide to water management, including rainwater harvesting and irrigation systems for water conservation
  • How to create living nutrient-rich soil—command the power of simple composting and mulching methods
  • The many benefits of no-till gardening—preserve your soil and improve its quality
  • How to build your own garden beds—from popular raised-bed and in-ground methods to exotic methods like hügelkultur and herb spirals
  • The A-Z of plant guilds and companion planting—a comprehensive list of plants to grow together to maximize your output
  • Integrated pest management—100 percent natural, organic and eco-friendly
  • And much more

Permaculture can often feel overwhelming, and while you may plan big for your backyard, you only need to start small—after all, it is an ever-evolving journey.

Let nature be your guide to sustainable living.

If you want to start practicing permaculture and reap all its benefits, then you need to listen to this audiobook today!
