Toby Hemenway Livres

Describes how to create a self-sustaining backyard ecosystem without chemical fertilizers or intrusive technology.

Permaculture is more than just the latest buzzword; it offers positive solutions for many of the environmental and social challenges confronting us. And nowhere are those remedies more needed and desired than in our cities.The Permaculture City provides practical guidance and plenty of examples for creating abundant food, energy security, close-knit communities, local and meaningful livelihoods, and sustainable policies in our cities and towns. Permaculturists have learned that the same nature-based approach that works so beautifully for growing food—connecting the pieces of the landscape together in harmonious ways—applies perfectly to many of our other needs. This book shows, in the stories of the innovators who are doing it as well as in how-to instructions, how permaculture design can help towndwellers solve the challenges of meeting our needs for food, water, shelter, energy, community, and livelihood in sustainable, resilient ways.

Kniha popisuje systém zahradničení, který kombinuje nejlepší vlastnosti přírodního biotopu, jedlého lesa a konvenční květinové a zeleninové zahrady do samoobnovující se krajiny, která nechává přírodu vykonat většinu práce. Než abyste ovládali svoji zahradu pomocí rotavátorů chrlících spaliny a chemických hnojiv, raději dovolte Tobymu Hemenwayovi, aby vám ukázal zahradní ekosystém vyvažující potřeby člověka a přírody.
