The Bio-Integrated Farm: A Revolutionary Permaculture-Based System Using Greenhouses, Ponds, Compost Piles, Aquaponics, Chickens

The manager of Clemson University’s student organic farm presents farm structures and systems that perform at least seven functions, the threshold he believes leads to a self-sustaining farm that operates as effortlessly as a natural ecosystem. Color photographs illustrate the design of the farm’s pond, water basin, large greenhouse, rainwater harvesting system, chicken coop, compost piles, soldier fly digester, and flood irrigation. Three case studies integrate many of the design components mentioned in the book. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
