From the founders of the highly successful Bec Hellouin, and authors of bestseller, Miraculous Abundance.

This beautifully illustrated, comprehensive volume will show you how natural systems work, and discover many simple and effective techniques that create an ecological diverse garden or a highly productive farm. The in-depth section on ‘Nature’s School’ explains weather patterns, soil types, and ecosystem services to give the reader sound knowledge of the environment they are growing in. The section on ‘Designing a Farm’ provides everything needed to implement an abundant food system, from understanding permaculture and its design tools, the full design process and the designs used on Bec Hellouin as a successful example. Additional chapters on composting, mulching, fertilisers, green manures and working with beneficial microorganisms offers the reader a selection of tools for creating healthy soil in a closed loop system.

"Goodness, this book sings! Living with the Earth braids ecological farming, scientific rigor and ancient wisdom with all the practicalities of a manual that actually helps you do the work. The immense beauty of this book, with its lyrical writing, photos and illustrations, pulls you into the world of miracles ... our world tended with loving hands in a simple, effective and regenerative way. This is ecological farming at its best." Erik Ohlsen, author of The Regenerative Landscaper
