Text of Note

Sepp Holzer farms more than 100 acres on steep mountainsides in Austria, 5,000 feet above sea level. His farm - in dramatic contrast to his neighbors' spruce monocultures - is an intricate network of terraces, raised beds, ponds, waterways, and tracks, well covered with productive fruit trees and other vegetation, and is said to be the most consistent example of permaculture worldwide. Sepp Holzer's Permaculture covers every aspect of Holzer's farming methods - including practical details for planning and cultivation, and how to make a decent living from the land.--COVER
