Genuinely the least helpful permaculture book I've read.

Genuinely the least helpful permaculture book I've read. It is little more than bullet points of the results you would find if you Google searched permaculture definitions. Nothing in depth, no real information if I could add photos I would. It's literally just bullet points with brief definitions, not even explanations. Chapters are large font two-page bullet points. Here is an excerpt that is the entirety of succession planting...." Succession you must always keep in mind the fact that nature never stands. Still trees grow streams, become diverted and land shifts and in the long term those factors could impact upon your garden. Keep some kind of contingency plan at the back of your mind to be prepared as possible for the potential changes as time goes by", that's it. That's all that is provided under succession. Another exerpt the entirety of the section of water gardens. "Water gardens and aquatic ecosystem usually, ponds are the most productive and can offer many design functions to enrich your garden. You could grow edible or non-edible but picturesque aquatic plants of which there are many you could introduce aquatic or amphibian life to your garden habitat." That's it. That's the entirety of the water Garden section. Every aspect of the book is like this. Mild definitions and vague suggestions with no real content.
