nolasia's review against another edition
3.0
Some really innovative ideas, but he suggests some plants that are very invasive. Also not very practical unless you own an actual farm and tractor for digging. I can still use some of the ideas about heat and moisture preservation though.

He's been doing permaculture since he was a child... this is a wonderfully readable description of many of the principles Sepp uses at his Austrian alpine farmstead. There are lots of good ideas for using the permaculture principles on both large and small scales here, with pictures and explanations galore. I bookmarked so many things!

Fascinating, but not really applicable or practical for the small-scale gardener. I am finding that other permaculture books are more relevant to me in creating my own plan for my garden.

Sepp Holzer's Permaculture is worth reading, but not owning. Despite the subtitle, most of Holzer's tips aren't really applicable to the small scale, unless by small scale you're comparing yourself to thousand acre factory farms. However, there are some intriguing and thought-provoking ideas in the book (many of which I covered on my blog --- just follow the link for highlights.)
