Lots of easy on the eye info and advice from Graham Burnetts site Spiralseed http://www.spiralseed.co.uk/ - plus 'free' stuff - love Grahams 'permaculture mandala'.

Another good un' that helped me know perma's the way to go http://permacultureprinciples.com/

Especially like the perma flower http://permacultureprinciples.com/flower.php

[edited to add - there's also free dowloads including a 16 page summary of permaculture concept and principles taken from Permaculture Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability by David Holmgren http://permacultureprinciples.com/freedownloads.php]

Thanks Andy....here's another

Permaculture Magazine - http://www.permaculture-magazine.co.uk/index.html Think we have a few Neeps who subscribe to this? Perhaps worth me asking if anyone has any well read copies they'd be happy to donate to the neeps library? Easier to read curled up with a magazine than a monitor.

There are heaps of permaculture videos on you tube. There is a link to a really good one at the bottom of the page on this link:

A wonderfully concise easy to read intro, with great pic's and diagrams. Highly recommended if you want to know what permaculture is, without reading a huge amount.

Not really a permaculture resource as such - more a great reading list of all those books you might want to get your hands on. Great for browsing with a 'cuppa' to see what you should be asking your library to stock.

Asking the library fits perma ethos nicely...use what we've got...and it really works! I have the Transition Towns Handbook - and have just requested Rachel Carsons, Silent Spring.

Cheers SH, agree, it's great. I was given the paper copy on the 'intro to permaculture course'.

Here's another great site. Although this one's very meaty...packed with enourmous amounts of info. Although not all permaculture, you'll find plenty. Here's what the creators of United Diversity http://uniteddiversity.com/ say about why they created it.
