RE: Book Review – My 12 Most Recommendable Permaculture Readings
Love hearing about new books! Thanks for the suggestions. Gaia's Garden is the one that opened up the rabbit hole for me.

Yes, that is such a well written one. And the Designers Manual is great for looking things up. From then on it depends on the area of your interest. Most specialized books such as Jenkins' Humanure Handbook I didn't even include here for its specialized nature.
I was just talking about the Humanure Handbook with @ecoknowme. Another great one!
Hey don't talk shit about me :P
opp, probably should have used this account for that. I have two alter egos on here... I take my personal profile for a walk to get exercise.... but it's still moi. ;)
Haha! that's awesome! I had no clue. Why did you decide to have 2 seperate accounts like that? Do you see a benefit? Or is one a business?
the personal one will be for me waxing poetically or randomly... the ecoknowme will be for the project to replace the Economy with Love, I mean Permaculture... I mean Personal accountability for the future empowered by Ecologically based Solutions and The Best Knowledge the Internet and I have to Offer, all while paying people to do so, here on Steemit. That is why I repost like crazy on Ecoknowme but will keep my feed crisp for meself. Also allows for double votes, less obvious self votes, resteems, double resteems, good cop better cop and silly online tricks for newbies, if applicable. The ecoknowme can host competitions, projects, promote the works of others and all the revenue will get REdistributed to the people who dig it 80/20 I only get 20% but I can choose to pay that to my personal account, donate it, or just put it towards the SP of @ecoknowme I wanted the 'me' part to come last... so I might introduce myself with the personal account soon enough... for now, let them eat cake in a hammock!
I had a post about getting a planteconomy for medicinal tonic herbs from around the world (He shou Wu, Gotu kola, Rhodiola, whatever works where you are but not for someone else... I think of all the times I drive past sage brush, grab a handful and wonder why I didn't just get two? @farmstead is there sage near you?) Anyway... I think I am looking at about 4 bucks on that once 25% is deducted for curation... That would be about $3.20 SBD for the Ecoknowme participants (this time will be guided random) and 0.80 for myself.
Stuff like that. I can try to do a post for your global steem circle test, and add my 20% to that for a full 100% toward global interconnection. I think it could work :)
opp I didn't read right and thought you were storte... for example, I would have chosen YOU for the secret draw, but I figured you already got a book to chew on recently, so I will be directing the Ecoknowme surplus to another unknowing participant. Just being transparent. But now you know my secrets Oo
bugger, I forgot to switch the rewards... it all went to SP, Will either have to powerdown or just write a new one explaining the new system I wanna promote. Posts for People!
You've thought some stuff through! What do you do when you aren't on Steemit? I'm certainly a fan of your planteconomy for herbs idea. If I knew more people who weren't flakes around me I'd have handed out a few dozen plants today from lemon balm and catnip to mint, anise hyssop, plantain, and iris rhizomes, instead they went to the chickens!
Ha! Now I even remember reading this comment, and still not getting that @ecoknowme and @wuji are the same people!
tricky with Permaculture and specialization. I'd almost have to say Bill and David's two books are the only generalized Manuals... after that it get pretty focused. Alternative Economics could be considered just as central as say, food forests... but if you live in Hong Kong, Permaculture is not inaccessible, just different... Window gardens and Patio Permaculture could be the main thing. Was wondering about underground permaculture.... like literally. What if you had to be sustainable in a bunker for a year/indefinately? Just a thought exercise... I really dunno where to draw the line so I tend to branch out with vigor and reckless enthusiasm. But the 'philosophy' is important. One way I heard it... "if it doesn't care for people, the Earth or return the surpluses back into the system... it's not Permaculture' an easy starting point I spose.
