Think Like An Ecosystem: An Introduction to Permaculture, Water Systems, Soil Science and Landscape Design

This is a good book for beginners. It has a lot of useful information that is easy to digest and help you get started on your Permaculture journey.

Very informative. Easy to follow.

We all need to do this to save our planet. Great ideas

While it could go a bit deeper, it is a well written book that clearly communicates its subject in away that is well done. In a later update with a bit more added detail and supporting material, I'm sure that I would bump my review to five stars. But it is a strong four star effort, one I enjoyed reading.

I love the concept behind this book with regard to making life in the garden an integrated ecosystem in your back yard or property. I have a smaller back yard without fencing and the ability to create a farm but my small gardens attract bees, butterflies, birds, racer snakes, geckos, and worms. It’s a mini ecosystem. This wonderful book gives me more specific ways to expand the gardens’ usefulness in feeding and sheltering animals that will, in turn, help my garden stay healthy without harsh chemicals or pesticides. If you have property that you want to grow plants on and raise animals on, this is the book for you. Photos and sketches are here within this book.

There's some good information in there, but the author is very preachy about her values, to the point where it took me out of the book. The author doesn't seem to understand their audience. Not many people interested in permaculture need to be convinced on the unsustainability of modern agricultural practices or the need to be harmony with our ecosystem.If you are looking for a book on permaculture, don't waste your time on this one.

This book is great to read has a lot of information. I like how you separate information into sections. Keep up the good work.

If you're interested in growing your food, permaculture itself, or closed system gardening this is a great start. This book set itself apart because it's Permaculture for the beginner. It is clear and concise manner which made it very digestible and easy to use in making a solid plan for the garden that is sustainable, regenerative, and low maintenance.
