One of the best theory books is: Permaculture Design Manual

The variety and diversity of different locations makes recommending
a book difficult. Elliot Colemans books are popular with some people
but his ideas are mostly for the North East (USA). Also, he writes
from experience and that narrows his material significantly.
Some of the books from the late 60's are still on our
shelves. They have things like: animals, worm farming,
composting toilets, growing grains, nut trees, perennials,
and other topics that have slipped away with our increased
urbanization.
Guess i can't think of any good eco-gardening books. Of course,
this is true if we use my definition of eco-gardening and others
may have a different definition. Can anyone think of a book
that covers garden cycles and how to tune them? How about
integration with the local ecology using edible landscapes?
