Patrick
Whitfield's pioneering writings explores the cutting edge of permaculture gardening that is eminently practical and visionary all at the same time.
Patrick
describes an evolving system that is totally chemical free, requiring little input from outside the garden gate. His minimalist approach uses techniques like no dig, raised beds, perennial vegetables and self-seeding salads as ground cover, plus mulching when appropriate. This minimises work in the garden whilst producing an abundance of food.
Patrick
describes how to select plants based on what you like to eat and how to combine them in polycultures that confuse pests. He mixes annual hybrids, heritage varieties and perennial vegetables and has a pragmatic approach to selecting seeds and seed saving. There are also tips on selecting fruit varieties, from berries to fruit trees, including how to choose rootstocks and varieties."--From publisher.
