    Love, love, love this book!
  

*by D***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2014*

This was a required text for a course on Ecological Design that I was taking. It is a fabulous book. My instructor chose this volume because it includes more of the design process than Volume 1 (which was not required, but is on my wish list for reference materials).  Dave Jacke takes you through the fundamentals of site analysis, evaluating opportunities and constraints and working through the design process.The appendixes alone are probably worth the cost of the book. His nectary calendar is extremely useful for trying to identify plants that will provide food for various pollinators; the species by function chart helps you easily see the best nitrogen fixers and dynamic accumulators; his species lifespan list gives you a reference point for how often you will either need to purchase or regenerate a given species...This is the first time I've ever felt strongly compelled to highlight and mark in my book. Normally, I sell my books back, but this one is a definite KEEPER! I have highlights and stickies throughout marking my most frequently referenced charts.The only caveat/issue I can even think of is... the plants/species are more tailored to the North Eastern United States and less to the Western United States where I live... A great number of the species from the northeast are naturalized here or will grow here, but that may be a limitation/problem for some people.

    If I could only have two books on Permaculture this would be one of them.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014*

This is the perfect companion for Gaia's Garden and Permaculture: A Designer's Manual (PADM).  If I could only have two books on Permaculture it would be Gaia's Garden and Edible Forest Gardens Vol. 2.  The tables in this book are worth the price and will save untold hours of research trying to find the right plants for my zone, soil type and how they fit into my plantings.  Want to know what nitrogen fixers work in your zone?  This is the book.  Want to know what bioaccumulators can work well in your soil?  This is the book.  There are over 600 different forest garden trees, shrubs, and other plants broken down by their role in your design.  Having to do this research on my own would triple my design time.  I love this book.  I've read Vol. 1 of this series and while it is good, I consider it redundant if you already have PADM.  While it has some good info in it, I think Vol. 2 has much more to contribute if you already have PADM or Gaia's Garden (or any other of the great permaculture basics books).  If you have money to throw around sure, by both volumes, but if you are like me and paying college textbook pricing for a book is hard to justify, trust me that this book is worth the cost.

    20/20
  

*by E***3 on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019*

You know the adage "Hindsight is 20/20"? Well, had I known that information I'd learned in the past 10+ books I've purchased regarding food forestry/permaculture would not only be contained in this book but expanded upon, I would have saved myself hundreds of dollars and weeks of reading. I always balked at the cost of these books and just kept them in my my "Maybe" list. Believe me, I'm kicking myself.The appendices alone are worth the cost of the book. I am the type of person that likes to be told in detail what I should do until I feel confident enough to experiment and come up with my own methods. Especially if I have invested so much time and money to achieve a certain goal.  With this book, all of my fears have been assuaged and I feel I have the knowledge and skills to carry out my dreams of a sustainable edible forest garden.I cannot recommend this book enough!
