Simple, Practical, and Perfect for Beginners

I’m new to permaculture and was honestly overwhelmed before finding this audiobook. Chris Harer does an awesome job breaking everything down in a way that feels totally doable, even if you’ve never gardened before. The step-by-step approach helped me plan my backyard project without feeling lost, and I loved that it takes both sustainability and real-life limitations into account. His narration is clear and easy to follow.

The DIY Permaculture Blueprint is just what I need to start my garden with confidence—informative, inspiring, and full of real steps I can take right away. Chapter 3 helped me rethink my choices and adapt to my northern zone, and Chapter 4’s lasagna layering made soil building understandable and straightforward. It finally feels like I can confidently proceed with my dream garden creation.

Simple Steps to a Thriving Homestead

This audiobook breaks down the permaculture process into simple and realistic steps that make it seem like something that anyone can do to have a self-sufficient landscape.

It shows you how to work with nature rather than against it, giving you practical methods that can be used in nearly any climate and terrain. We are told step by step without being inundated, which is helpful to a beginner. I liked particularly how it is focused on long-term sustainability, not quick fixes. If you're interested in building a more sustainable, efficient environment, this is a great resource.

I really liked listening to this book because it made permaculture sound fun and easy. My favorite parts were the tips on growing your own organic food and how to build gardens that help nature. It was great learning simple ways to be more self-sufficient, even for beginners. The narrator explained things clearly, and it felt friendly and helpful. Anyone interested in gardening or sustainability will enjoy this!

Got Me Thinking Long-Term

I’ve tried gardening before, but this book helped me think beyond just planting and watering. It showed me how to actually plan out a space that works with nature, not against it. I started with a small section of my yard, and now I’m slowly building it out with better intention. It didn’t feel overwhelming, which I appreciated. If you’re looking to do more than just grow veggies and actually build something that lasts, this was a great place to begin.

Everything you need to know!

I really enjoyed The DIY Permaculture Blueprint. I’ve been wanting to get into growing my own food and living more sustainably, but a lot of the stuff out there feels too technical or overwhelming. This audiobook wasn’t like that at all. It explained things in a really simple, clear way that actually made me feel like, “Okay, I can do this.” I liked that it focused on using what you already have and building something that works for your space and lifestyle.

Getting our backyard to actually work with us

I really liked how this broke down permaculture in a way that didn’t make me feel like I needed a degree in environmental science. The section about creating microclimates was super helpful—we’ve got a weird patch of shade in our yard, and now it’s the perfect little herb corner thanks to some tips in here. My husband got really into the composting bit too (who knew he'd geek out over soil layers?). This helped us both get on the same page about using the space more efficiently and in a way that feels good long-term. It’s made our little garden feel a lot more purposeful.
