Accessible, informative
and packed with practical advice, The Permaculture Way is the
environmentally efficient way. This is an indispensable guide for those
willing to move away from the consumerist lifestyle, and to live by more
enduring values. Permaculture is not about getting away from it all -
it's about taking control of our lives, our individual needs, and our
common future.
This is the first in a series of 15 pamphlets based on the 1981 Permaculture Design Course given by Bill Mollison at The Rural Education Center, Wilton, New Hampshire, USA. Elizabeth Beyor, without compensation, transcribed tape recordings of the course and subsequently edited them into the 15 pamphlets. Thelma Snell typed all 15 pamphlets and laid-out most of them. Lisa Barnes contributed illustrations to pamphlets II, IX, and XI. Bill Mollison edited the pamphlets for accuracy and style, as did I, their publisher, Dan Hemenway. I also performed computer typesetting for this edition. After about 10 years of using Thelma's typescript, we were able to offer a typeset version, which is at once more compact, saving trees and money, and more readable. Now we also offer the pamphlets in electronic form, so that they may be read directly by computer without use of any paper, saving more trees. This edition has been slightly re-edited to make it more readable, accurate, and up-to-date.

Permaculture Two: A Practical Design for Town and Country in Permanent
Agriculture. 1979. By Bill Mollison. Tagari Press, Stanley, Australia.
150 p.
This is the definitive Permaculture design manual in print since 1988.
It is the text book and curriculum for the 72-hour Certificate course
in Permaculture Design. Written for teachers, students and designers,
it follows on and greatly enlarges on the initial introductory texts,
Permaculture One (1978) and Permaculture Two (1979) both of which are
still in demand over twenty years after publication.
Very little of
the material found in this book is reproduced from the former texts.
It covers design methodologies and strategies for both urban and rural
applications describing property design and natural farming
techniques.
"We
live in challenging times. Peak oil has made us aware that many of the
resources we depend upon are limited; rivers are running dry;
deforestation continues at an alarming rate; and we are beginning to
experience the effects of climate change.
Our future need not be full of doom and gloom. There is indeed a way
forward, and that way is exciting! Permaculture offers us the chance to
create a low energy sustainable society, where, through careful design,
and with a new awareness, we can begin to solve and maybe even undo
some of the problems we have caused.
Everything I have come to understand about the principles of
permaculture is summed up in this wonderfully readable and accessible
book."
Natural farming is based on the observation of nature and allowing it to do what it naturally does best.
Born in a small farming village on the island of Shikoku in Southern
Japan in 1914, Masanobu Fukuoka was trained in microbiology as a plant
pathologist. His career began as an agriculture customs inspector
running tests on incoming and outgoing plants at the port of Yokohama.
At twenty-five, he started to question what he had learned about
modern agriculture science, and came to accept that all the
accomplishments of human progress are insignificant before the totality
of nature.
Fukuoka has learned how plants can grow naturally and vigorously with
little or no human effort. For over fifty years he has achieved surplus
yields of rice, barley, plums, citrus fruits and vegetables by means of
natural farming. Fukuoka's methods have also been used to green the
deserts, with the use of seed balls.
The five major principles of Fukuoka's farming methods are:
Данная Брошюра - результат научных разработок инженера - изобретателя
Фокина В. В., автора необычного огородного инструмента - ручного
плоскореза, который обрабатывает почву без оборота пласта, т.е. с
минимальным вмешательством во внутренний мир почвы.
Брошюра рассказывает
о том, как "мирное сосуществование” земледельца и обитателей почвы
позволяет выращивать хорошие урожаи "без боли в пояснице и мозолей на
руках”.
