A PERMACULTURE GARDEN OR FARM IS

TRULY

A SLICE OF HEAVEN

Flowers, veggies, fruit trees, bees, insects, worms, tiny microorganisms, weeds and even backyard
animals are all part of this perfect ecosystem that thrives under one condition: that you don’t mess with
it.

You don’t have to dig it except ONCE in the beginning. This type of garden grows on its own, so you
don’t have to break your back working on it. Tilling and plowing are nothing short of mass genocide of
the things living just a few inches below the ground...

You don’t have to weed it, either, because weeds are a part of the ecosystem and they actually help

the other plants.

No, you don’t have to sacrifice your emergency water supply to water it. Not nearly as much as you
would a traditional garden, at least. Dig a few ditches in the right places to collect rainwater and provide
a timed release to the soil. This forces the roots to grow deeper to get it, resulting in strong, healthy
plants… They’ll have enough water of for weeks or even months without rain.

You also don’t have to re-plant over and over again, every year at specific dates. Many of them are
perennials, meaning they last for years and years, while others re-seed themselves, so you don’t have to
worry about stockpiling too many seeds for Doomsday.

This can and will work for you… and have a sustainable food source that’s “better than organic”

With so little work, you can do this even if you’re 80 years old and have a bad back and knees, even if
you live alone and even if you’ve never held a garden hoe in your hands before.

THERE'S JUST ONE CATCH:

You won’t get as much produce of one kind as you would from a traditional garden… because you’ll get
a VARIETY of fruits and veggies that, added pound for pound, will double or even triple your yield
from the same square footage. You’ll have so much food that you’ll have no choice but to sell some of
it to your neighbors, or barter with it for other survival items and services you may need post-collapse.

In a long-term survival situation, you’ll get sick and tired of eating the same things over and over again,
so you’ll have a few dozen types of veggies such as squash, onions, watermelons and sweet potatoes,
plus all the apples, plums and walnuts you can eat. Some of these plants will even feed you during
winter, when everyone else is stuck eating canned food, so you don’t have to dig into your stockpile
unless you want to.

If this sounds a little too good to be true, I understand you may be a little skeptical… I was too, when I
discovered permaculture. But I decided to get involved, find out more and… I eventually got hooked. I
could not believe how many folks are abandoning destructive gardening and farming techniques.
According to FoodTank.com, there are now over 1 million certified permaculturists in 140 countries, with
4
over 50,000 of them being American . This doesn’t even count the ones who’re doing it on their own,
without formal training.
