When Liz Zorab purchased a house with 0.8 acres of paddock, she had a vision of growing as much organic produce as possible. This illustrated volume traces her pursuit of permaculture over the course of four years, from the creation of a composting system and establishing hedges as windbreaks to storing rainwater, keeping chickens, preserving the harvest and erecting a polytunnel.
If you want to grow your own food, become more self sufficient, zero waste or eco friendly, or even go fully off grid, Liz Zorab is the perfect guide to help you explore the world of green living and permaculture.
Grounded is the story of her gardening journey: from bare field to bountiful feast; from poor soil to fertile abundance; from rookie errors to successful sustainability. Liz and her husband, Mr J, transformed a tired 0.8 acre field into a fertile homestead that provides 80% of their food and drink - with enough left over to stock a community veggie box scheme!
An inspiring blend of practical tips and ideas with personal narrative and a good smattering of humour, Grounded will show you how to:
` Fill your garden without emptying your pocket
` Make the most of the space you have
` Be creative with resources
` Achieve more without exhausting yourself
` Become more resilient
` Enjoy the process as much as the results
This is a tale of courage and imagination that will inspire you to grow your own productive paradise and live your dreams.
