Permaculture's Hidden Economy

:Transforming Weeds, Pests, and Waste into Regenerative Water, Soil, and Energy Systems Through Nature's Blueprint

By: Britney Whitehead

Narrated by: Ava Davenport

Is your garden a drain on your wallet, or a self-sustaining bank account of resources?

Most permaculture guides sell you a fantasy of pristine raised beds and expensive compost systems. They tell you to buy worms, import soil, and fight nature. This audiobook reveals the uncomfortable truth: you are sitting on a goldmine of wasted energy, overlooked nutrients, and biological labor, and you are throwing it all away.

Permaculture's Hidden Economy destroys the polite myth of "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" and replaces it with a radical, closed-loop blueprint. This is not about manicured lawns; it is about building a biological machine that turns "problems" into production.

Inside, you will discover how to:

• Turn "Trash" into Treasure: Stop buying fertilizer. Learn the "Pee Cycle" to convert human urine into balanced plant food in 48 hours and transform broken furniture into biochar.
• Make Weeds Your Workforce: Stop pulling weeds. Discover how to use "invasive" species to pump nutrients from deep underground and act as living trellises.
• Weaponize Pests: The "Rat Economy" and "Termite Advantage" sections will show you how to redirect vermin to compost toxic waste and till your soil for free.

Exclusive Audio Bonus:

To help you implement these radical systems immediately, this audiobook comes with a comprehensive PDF Reference Guide, which you can download directly from your Audible library. This visual companion includes the Waste Stream Audit Template to map your household outputs, the Legal Loopholes Cheat Sheet for zoning hacks, the DIY Methane Capture Blueprint, and the Contaminated Soil Revival Checklist.

Nature doesn't waste. Why should you? It is time to stop gardening and start engineering a living economy.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
