[permaculture-oceania] Help needed in planning our PC farm

[Darrington, Paul A]

        Thanks Robert, I checked out those links, & the 2 books sound
perfect!
        Despite being written for a north american climate, the emphasis
on plant compatability & shade tolerances among other things is great!
        I'll definatley be ordering a copy of both books, and will also
give a review when done reading
 
        Thanks
        Paul

We intend to "scaffold / stack" our plants as they would grow in their
natural rainforest habitats, however the books all recommend full sun
for just about every tree. 

But for the here and now, and there any books you could recommend to
help us in the design stage?

Check out the recently released book "Edible Forest Gardens: Ecological
Design and Practise for Temperate Climate Permaculture" by Dave Jacke
and Eric Toensmeir.
I have just (a few days ago) bought this awsome 2-volume book so can't
really give a review, but it looks like just what you're looking for.
(although you will likely need to adapt the ideas a bit to suit your
particular area).
Find details at <  <http://www.edibleforestgardens.com/>

although you can get it *much* cheaper at places like
http://www.megamediadepot.com/ where I paid $117.65 (incl postage)
compared to the $150 (plus postage) if you buy direct for the author or
from the publisher. (Can't figure out how that works, but there you
go...)
 
Now, to find a few quite days (weeks!) to settle down and read the
books.
 
cheers,
Robert
