Review 1 (4/5 stars): I also felt inspired after watching this DVD just to get out there and improve my garden. I did suspect some of the ideas were expensive but took from it rather a few of the smaller tips, and the step by step process so dont feel overwhelmed by it all. I dont know what the real ‘permaculture’ is yet so cant comment on Daniel Q.

Review 2 (4/5 stars): After watching this DVD, I felt inspired. I have read around the subject of permaculture and I think that that the basic principles and practices, as espoused by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, have been faithfully interpreted in this title. There are some expensive ideas thrown in (like automatic watering systems) which will suit some more than others. Although there are good permaculture books out there, I have found it difficult to imagine the results in my own garden. This DVD shows you how it can all come together in your backyard. After viewing this DVD we felt that it was achievable and have made a commitment to turn our yard into a permaculture garden.
