Permaculture: A Designers' Manual Review: A Must Have for Permaculture - Book was in great condition, full of fantastic information! Review: The definitive guide on PERMACULTURE - I've been tinkering with the idea of buying farm land and developing it sustainably and at a profit for the past few years and began studying the principles of permaculture two years ago to where I was at the point that I couldn't satiate my need for learning more about it, so I purchased this book. It was well worth the price tag and takes you through EVERYTHING (read Permaculture Institute & Tagari Publishing's review). I have re-read the first several chapters many times and can't stop focusing on the guiding principles behind permaculture and the need to implement these simple systems in place. No more monocultures, no more pesticides, no more squandering resources, and this book outlines how to do just that and more. It has been stressed in the works of Masanobu Fukuoka, Wendell Berry, Michael Pollan and every author of sustainable farming literature that an organic polyculture system yields more than any monoculture system especially in the instances of drought and disease. It's common sense, especially for those like myself who want to develop land and make a profit doing it to implement at least some of the basic knowledge of polycultures as an insurance policy against drought or disease, but to also add to soil health and abundance and plentiful opportunities for the food web to grow and prosper with as few inputs as possible. I can't stress enough that this book outlines how to do this with as few inputs as possible, turning it into a zero input natural ecosystem. As much as it's about digging swales, using nurse plants to their full potential and building a living abundant ecosystem, it's about being responsible for the land you own and the food you grow, it provides a better blueprint for tomorrow. One man's weed is anothers pioneer plant building nutrient dense soil for Spring peas next season. If there is one thing I look forward to more than reading this book again, it's applying the knowledge in it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #40,907 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #34 in Gardening & Horticulture Reference (Books) #52 in Gardening Encyclopedias | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (319) | | Dimensions | 8.75 x 1.75 x 11.25 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0908228015 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0908228010 | | Item Weight | 3.75 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 576 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 1997 | | Publisher | Ten Speed Pr | ## Images ![Permaculture: A Designers' Manual - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91q9hIPQ94L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must Have for Permaculture *by T***N on November 20, 2025* Book was in great condition, full of fantastic information! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The definitive guide on PERMACULTURE *by D***R on March 8, 2013* I've been tinkering with the idea of buying farm land and developing it sustainably and at a profit for the past few years and began studying the principles of permaculture two years ago to where I was at the point that I couldn't satiate my need for learning more about it, so I purchased this book.

Born in the mid-seventies, permaculture co-founder Bill Mollison defines this new field as "the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. It is the harmonious integration of landscape and people providing their food, energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way. Without permaculture there is no possibility of a stable social order." In other words, permaculture is the practical science of sustainability - a whole-systems approach life in the biosphere - and this near-encyclopedic tome covers every aspect of the subject, from soil conditions to climactic factors. The only conceivable drawback of this book is that it is rather difficult to ascertain and won't come cheap. If you enjoy tracking down rare and expensive books, there are none better than Mollison's Permaculture: A Designer's Manual. Large, comprehensive and filled with helpful illustrations and explanations, it is nothing less than the permaculture bible. On the other hand, if you are on a tight budget, and do not wish to spend your time searching for an unworn copy, there are newer and more accessible titles on the subject: like the other permaculture co-founder David Holmgren's Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability, or the concise and slim Earth User's Guide to Permaculture, by Rosemary Morrow. Whatever book you choose, this fascinating subject is perhaps humanity's only hope for a sustainable (read livable) future. Should not be overlooked. An essential reference. j.w.k. ## Frequently Bought Together - Permaculture: A Designers' Manual - Introduction to Permaculture - Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture, 2nd Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/70945386-permaculture-a-designers-manual](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/70945386-permaculture-a-designers-manual) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
