Title: A bit overwhelming, but fascinating
Review: First of all, if you're just learning about Forest Gardening, Martin Crawford'sCreating a Forest Gardenis a better choice. On the other hand, if you want to drink from a firehose (with a landscape design perspective), this massive two volume set will fill you up.As with all types of permaculture, you need to understand your own environment before applying techniques from books willy-nilly. I found it very helpful to start out withWeekend Homesteader: Aprilto learn about my site so that I'd be going with the flow rather than fighting against the natural features of my land.All of those recommendations aside, Edible Forest Gardens is a fascinating combination of ecology and gardening. It's inspiring and thorough.
