Long time reader, first time poster...
Five years ago I started gardening. Each year, I got more and more serious about it. A year ago, I asked for Gaia's Garden as a birthday gift and my life has not been the same since. I've read a lot of philosophy in my young life and none of it had the same effect on me. All Toby's hard work is evident in a highly polished, well conceived book that is accessible to beginners, but deep enough to let you know permaculture is a lifetime study. Since reading it, I've continued studying nonstop and start my PDC next week...my first serious coursework in over a decade.
I don't have a question for Toby so much as a heartfelt "THANK YOU."
