The Farm Krameterhof of Sepp Holzer - an overview

The basic principles of Holzer:
-- "Diversity instead of simplicity, because all animals and plants have a meaningful function"
-- "Cooperate with nature instead of fighting it. Observe nature and find out which plants support each other" [web03]

Mountain climate in the Salzburg Alps between 900 and 1400m above sea level - 40 years of experiments - permaculture and stubborn Austrian authorities

On the farm of Sepp Holzer in the Alps at 900 to 1400m altitude, there is an annual average temperature of 4.5 degrees C [about 41º Fahrenheit]. Holzer observed nature for more than 40 years, experimenting and creating an ecosystem that resembled an "edible paradise landscape" with "diversity instead of simplicity". He found out which plants support each other. The authorities, however, found that Holzer would not comply with standards and provoked processes that increased Holzer's profile.

The development of 40 years of research on permaculture mountain farming is described in the book "Sepp Holzer - the agrarian rebell" (original German: "Sepp Holzer - der Agrarrebell") (2002)  ISBN 3-7020-0970-1 - Amazon-Link

Many more details are described in his book of 2004 "Sepp Holzer's permaculture. Practical methods for garden, fruit and agriculture" (original German: "Sepp Holzers Permakultur. Praktische Anwendung für Garten, Obst- und Landwirtschaft" (2004)  ISBN 3-7020-1037-8 - Amazon-Link

Details about the farm Krameterhof of Sepp Holzer near Salzburg

The creation of a new landscape with ponds and a small lake - then only a minimal amount of work - Medicinal plants + hillocks - Pigs plow the fields - Cleverly combined mixed cultures save pesticides etc.

-- With large machines, the landscape of the Krameterhof was changed and ponds were created, giant hills were created and wind-friendly zones were created [web08]
-- Fishponds and frog pools were created for water supply
-- Sepp Holzer grows kiwis on his mountain farm, cherries, pumpkins, radishes, cereals grow in the forest
-- He has a minimum workload with maximum yield
-- Pigs and chickens roam freely and eat [in demarcated areas], pigs are working like a plow plowing and preparing fields
-- Medicinal plants and hillbeds (hillpatches) are standard
-- Sepp Holzer is a frequent consultant for projects, also overseas in Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil, where unfertile soils are transformed back into agricultural land with the help of permaculture
-- Criminal NWO authorities in Austria wanted to prevent the new permaculture agriculture of Holzer, but they did not succeed. [web04]
-- With cleverly combined mixed cultures fertilizers are not needed
-- Fish farming is possible with sophisticated ponds
-- Amphibians and birds regulate harmful insects [web06]
-- chickens and pigs eat slugs and nudibranchs in the vegetable garden [web08]

Permaculture pioneer Sepp Holzer and wife Veronika Holzer ran the Krameterhof until 2009 and since 2012 they are living in warmer Austrian region of Burgenland with their pension. The Krameterhof is continued by the son Josef A. Holzer [web05].

Krameterhof farm - and Holzerhof farm in Jennersdorf since 2012

In Castle Country (Burgenland) in the village of Jennersdorf [appr. 120km south of Vienna], a project "Jena-Hof" with Holzer did not succeed and massive landslides were said to have caused the bankruptcy of the farm. Sepp Holzer took over this farm as part of a creditor comparison, now calls the farm "Holzer's Farm" ("Holzerhof") and lives there in the "flatlands" with his wife Veronika [web15].

The farm of Krameterhof in the Alps (record)

Plants grow best in symbiosis of different species - 1100 to 1500 m above sea level - everything is terraced - enormous diversity with mixed culture

Nature arranges itself when many different plants are living in common. When many plants of the same sort are planted together they all need the same nutrients and there will be nothing left. The industrial man always plants the same plants next to each other, so that the plants take away each other's nutrients and in the end nothing grows anymore. Sepp Holzer took over the farm in 1962, there are 50 hectares, the area goes from 1100 to 1500 m above sea level (4'1 ''). Holzer terraced the whole mountain, which resulted in a lush vegetation with an enormous variety (4'14 ''). In part, exotic plants have settled in the warm microclimate spots of the terraces. There is symbiosis (4'18 ''). The mixed crops bring much more yield: Blueberries grow next to the carrot salad bed, and carrots and lettuce are mixed (5'15 '').

Farm Krameterhof, the sign: "Special agricultural crops KRAMETERHOF, Sepp Holzer" - One of the 72 ponds and mountain lakes at Krameterhof - Sepp Holzer 2013 approx.

A principle of Holzer: Plants are living beings, and accordingly one has to be gentle with the plants (5'46 '').

[So do not plow, do not hurt their roots, plants should not be isolated from other plants where they like to grow, plants should not starve or freeze when it's possible to avoid it, etc.].

Apples, kiwis, grapes in the Alps between 1100 and 1500m above sea level

Plants give signals when they are not feeling well (6'10 ''). In this mixed culture on the Krameterhof, the fruits are growing lusciously with richly laden apple trees (6'20 '') and there are the Chinese kiwis, which mature here highly aromatic (6'39 ''). Stone terraces radiate heat having a "tiled stove effect" forming a "rock tiled stove" (6'55 ''). And here in the "rock tiled stove" grow and mature grapes (7'4 ''). Thus, it is no problem to grow heat-needy plants in the mountains next to rock walls on sunny slopes (7'17 '').

The pond system on the Krameterhof: 72 ponds and mountain lakes

Sepp Holzer has created a total of 72 ponds and lakes, with 4 hectares of water (7'57 ''). In the ponds live aquatic plants, fish, crab, shells (8'33 ''). The pond system is the reservoir for periods of drought, so the farm Krameterhof never runs out of water (8'41 ''), there is no risk of fire, there is no hardened ground (8'49 ''). In his ponds, Sepp Holzer breeds more than 30 different fish species (9'21 ''), "diversity and not simplicity preserves the system" (9'24 '').

The specialties of Sepp Holzers Krameterhof: terraces, fruit trees in the forest, fish ponds, outdoor animal husbandry

Sepp Holzer's specialties on his farm are: the terraces, the fruit trees in the forest, the fish ponds [72 ponds], the animal husbandry outdoors (9'41 '').

The criminal administration in Austria wanted to ban Holzer's innovations

The criminal administration wanted to ban everything. Sepp Holzer: "I'm the most punished farmer in all of Austria." (9'44 '') - The fruit trees in the forest should be a fact, which was called "forest devastation" (9'48 ''). Fruit trees are said to be a "forestry-foreign wood" (9'51 ''). The terracing was defined by the criminal administration of Austria as "unauthorized earthwork" (9'55 ''). So the criminal officials from the offices of Austria came in in groups (10'0 ''). They walked everywhere, provoked a lot of damage to the ground, trampled on everything, and kept inventing new regulations - absolutely unbearable (10'8 '').

The cattle cycle on the fields: animals on the fields changing between pigs, cattle, and cheep

Sepp Holzer keeps Duroc pigs (variation of Schwäbisch-Hall) on his Krameterhof, the very big boars weigh up to 460kg and are also very useful for terracing and biotope digging the ground down to 1m (10'49 "). Pigs can be lead with food (10'58 ''). Pigs from factory farming are stupid, lie down in the sun and get sunburn in just one day of lounging and lying in the sun (11'4 ''). Pigs from factory farming are therefore mental cripples (11'10 '').

Holzer uses his animals specifically for landscape conservation. The flock of sheep is constantly changing it's food places changing the paddocks (11'26 ''). The pigs dig through an area, then is sowing action, and when the vegetation is again lush, the cattle come and eat the lush vegetation (11'34 ''). Then come again the sheep, which eat everything down to the last cm, and then the pigs are preparing the zone again for sowing (11'37 ''). The animals are led from place to place and are not locked in the stable in "prison" (11'45 ''). [The stable stays open]. And so the animals are doing the work in groups alternately and replace the work from the farmer (11'50 '').

Bees, earthworms, forest ants

Bees are the main insects - and the regulators are earthworms and forest ants: the earthworm mixes everything, then all the nutrients are mixed in one. Without earthworms, the creation would have long been extinct (12'22 ''). Ants regulate insect stocks, eat caterpillars etc. when there are too many (12'36 ''). Ants have a road network under the grass, they are organized like a city (12'43 ''), with platforms, paths, highways, even underground - highly intelligent (12'50 '').

The village of Ramingstein - worldwide projects - lake landscape in Portugal

The farm Krameterhof is located near the village of Ramingstein, at the local restaurant the conversation is not worthwhile, because one is only interrogated and then envy comes up (13'48 ''). Mr. Sepp Holzer now was called to perform projects in the whole world, in Norway, in Spain, in Ecuador, the authorities receive Sepp Holzer there like a state guest (13'58 '').

Project in Portugal: Sepp Holzer created a water landscape there as a prevention against further big forest fires (14'6 ''). Three lakes were built there to better withstand the drought in summer (14'14 ''). Link: Photo report about Tamera in Portugal (English)

Family history

Sepp Holzer grew up at the farm of Krameterhof. The way to school was then 1 hour down and 2 hours up. Paved road did not exist at that time (14'52 ''). Agriculture was inefficiently organized and it reached the limit of efficiency (15'39 ''). Mr. Holzer has a dog, and when Holzer comes home from traveling it feels alreacy half an hour before returning that he will come. His son manages the agriculture now, and Sepp Holzer gives the lectures and consultations (16'32 '') to modify projects with terrain and create new lakes (16'45 '').

The inspirations for efficient permaculture

Most ideas for the new agriculture came as an inspiration in the sleep and were notated with block and pin (17'30 ''). And at the big pond is another power place. If you rest there, you get more ideas (18'12 '').

Stinging nettle does not sting Holzer

Sepp Holzer enthuses about the nettle as a medicinal plant, he even eats stinging nettles and it does not sting him at all, that is just a hypersensitivity of the degenerated humans (18'52 ''). He picks a nettle leaf, rolls it up and eats it like a praline, it does not sting him (19'0 '').

Training in permaculture with courses - tourist guides

Education: Sepp Holzer offers courses in permaculture, a one-year course and a two-year course (19'22 ''). The training is completed with the title "Permaculture practice of Holzer" (German: "Holzerischer Permakultur-Praktiker") (19'38 ''). In addition, there are tourist guides for people who want to rediscover the connection to nature (20'49 ''). Water springs are shaped in larch wood that holds for generations (21'44 ''). Other water sources quickly bubble out of the wooden channel and are set in wells (21'50 ''). Tourists realize with Holzer that they do not know anything about nature, that the school system of "civilization" teaches them nothing about nature (22'11 '').

Sepp Holzer says it clearly: The
                    whole agriculture is deliberately manipulated to
                    monoculture, and a few earn when there are
                    disasters   duck pond on the Krameterhof by Sepp Holzer,

On the other side of the valley [on other farms with other farmers] there is forestry with spruce plantations and they have many losses, with total dumbing down to cultivate only a single plant per hectare. And this stupidity, this unnatural behavior is to blame for the worldwide catastrophes (22'31 ''). There are a few who make their money from the disasters (22'35 ''). "And as long as one can make money with disasters, the catastrophes will not stop." (22'40 '') - Telling  what one thinks, [and if one does what one thinks], then this will be rewarded greatly by nature, then comes the life energy, then comes the order of the nature and in the end, when one is satisfied, the teaching comes to pass on the knowledge. There are now so many responses there, Holzer can not read all the mails (23'49 ''). So there are piles of mail (23'54 '').

"The whole world would be a paradise if farming on this symbiotic farming right takes place worldwide." (24'6 '') - This curriculum of his courses should actually be taught in schools and universities: "That should actually be taught in schools and universities." (24'12 '')

Book 1: "Sepp Holzer - the agrarian rebel" (German: Sepp Holzer - der Agrarrebell") (2002)
ISBN 3-7020-0970-1 - Amazon-Link
The book "Sepp
                    Holzer - the agrarian rebel" (German: Sepp
                    Holzer - der Agrarrebell") (2002)

Data from the reviews of "The Agrarian Rebel" (translations):

-- "That gives you the courage to go back to the natural."
-- "A great book, one of the most beautiful that relates to the garden and permaculture."
-- "For every gardener, amateur agronomist and student absolutely recommendable."
-- "The book is very interesting written and the content inspires me."
-- "Beautifully written, but some things are repeating itself, but a buy recommendation, for those who are interested in the topic of alternative management."
-- "simply ingenious - a thinking person who does not join the group pressure but has the courage to assert his own ideas and convictions.
I wish each one of us had such a spirit - the world would be a much better place `to stay '...
Thanks, Sepp Holzer! "[Web04]

- "If you want deep insights into permaculture, this book is not for you. But for people who want to look at the topic and, above all, find interesting the path of Sepp Holzer, and it is really interesting, because he never accepted any limit, but he was always looking for new solutions, this book will be fine. "
- "I particularly liked the first half of the book, in which he describes his experiences with nature in his childhood."
- "A thrilling biography of a dazzling personality: Holzer's life, his constant struggle with the authorities and lobbies give him a little bit of the charisma of a Robin Hood."
- "In fact, this is primarily about his life and not especially about permaculture advice, but by the way there are some details learning with it." [web06]

-- "Captivating autobiography of a genius. Holzer ruthlessly reveals some of the insanity of our times: European-wide and municipal bureaucrats implement regulations to the letter, even if the result runs counter to the original meaning of the law.
Here is not only a guide to natural gardening / agriculture included, but also a fair amount of social criticism. We all use our wallet to determine what the world will look like in a few years. Whether we can still live - or merely survive - will depend not least on whether enough people take up Holzer's experiences and put them into action.
Holzer's enthusiastic plea for common sense belongs in the bookshelf of every rural resident - and for the city dwellers it is even more indispensable.
Who expects detailed instructions (planting bed in the format n * x mm, more precise layer structure of a compost heap, ...), will be disappointed, but then realize: the diversity in nature is so great that it depends mainly, the watching and experimenting. You have to get the "why" out, then the "how" comes about all by itself. "(Jürgen L. Hemm) [web07]


-- "Almost paradoxical that a farmer who has miraculously maintained a close relationship with nature and actually uses traditional methods is now called a "rebel". Rebels would have to be those who overcrowded their fields and monocultures with chemistry, that the micro life dies out - and in consequence the vicious circle to ever more chemical employment arises.
Sepp Holzer has practiced organic agriculture and permaculture throughout his life and has accumulated a wealth of insights. For example he lets plow his fields by swines, saves fertilizer combining plants cleverly, with sophisticated pond systems he operates a successful fish farming, by the many amphibians and birds in the field he needs no insecticides. Nature regulates itself largely, and usually better than chemicals can.
However, he reports very honestly and openly about many setbacks in life, among them often a quarrel with the authorities, who - instead of promoting him - have been working specifically against him. The book is the story of his farm "Krameterhof" and is more an autobiography. It contains many amazing and fascinating ideas that are, however, mentioned only relatively briefly. For the practice in detail there is Holzer's second book "Permakultur" ("Permaculture"), which specifically addresses the urban allotment gardener. Holzer deserves great praise for his life's work, because he has proven that ecological agriculture and livestock farming can also be operated in an economically sensible way. The book is a valuable resource for eco-farmers and a joy for all nature-loving people! "(Christian von Montfort) [web07]

-- "Josef Holzer is a stubborn and unconventional thinker of great stature. I consider him a real genius" (Bernd Lötsch, biologist and director of the Natural History Museum in Vienna).
This statement gets my full approval. And what Sepp Holzer reports from his life and work is not a distant future fairytale, but a realizable reality. For each. from us. In his own way.
Only to be recommended ... creativity and courage instead of dullness. "(P. Mehrlein) [web07]

-- "It is to be hoped that as many farmers as possible will benefit from the unusual wealth of experience. Mr Holzer's farm is located in one of the statistically, coldest regions of Austria and more than 1,200 meters above sea level and there grow even strawberries and even kiwis!
One can find more about his working methods on the CD-ROM: "Holzer's Permaculture - A Thinking in Cycles and Interactions" (original German: Die Holzer'sche Permakultur - Ein Denken in Kreisläufen und Wechselwirkungen).> [web08]

-- "Those who are seriously interested in permaculture should stick to the books of Bill Mollison. There are real tools for installing sustainable nature and life systems. This Sepp Holzer has done for himself, but for flat regions and for people without land this book is no help." [web08]

-- "Here is work with big excavator machines, pigs are recommended as a slug fight strategy for the vegetable garden and hunting and fishing are presented extensively. The author presents what he has bred already, including mushrooms and ants!" (Books Rowdy) [web08]

-- "Common sense, observation of the natural balance and above all respect for nature - are essential foundations for this success.
High respect for this straightforwardness. "Ingridl [web08]

-- "The Holzers installations have evidently been created with the help of large construction, agricultural and forestry machinery (pond systems, giant hillbeds, wind-friendly tree zones ...)" (Salomee) [web08]

On 303 pages [German version], Sepp Holzer deals with the 6 main themes of landscape design, alternative agricultural entertainment, fruit landscapes, mushroom cultivation, gardens and projects. From the application of hillsbeds and water landscapes coming to alternative livestock, finishing of fruit trees, mushroom growing on straw, on wood and in the forest passing to urban garden design and herbal and herbalism, the author provides a broad knowledge in an easy way to understand. A practical plant list provides information about herbs and vegetables and their cultivation properties. Very nice are also the representations of the projects that Holzer has accompanied, i.a.in Scotland and Thailand.
The entire book is extensively illustrated with photos and drawings

Quotes:
"Anyone who is accustomed to carrying out all the work according to certain 'knit patterns' and 'recipes' will find it very hard to get used to the path of this new real independence, because in this case one has to take all the decisions by oneself."
"An earthworm can not go to the veterinarian doctor after all."
"If enough of these plants are present, the voles will leave the fruit trees alone. The question is not what can I do against the 'pests', but what can I do for them so they will not harm me, but maybe they will even be useful for me."
"Permaculture does not function with a shield protection from outside influences, but requires cooperation!"
"Nature is perfect, creation perfect, only human beings make the mistakes."

Rating:
As an introduction to working with nature, whether in agriculture or in the city garden, this is an inspiring, comprehensive and hopeful book. Living in harmony with the environment is possible and more than necessary these days. If you want a paradigm shift in traditional agriculture, you can start with this book yourself. (Kristine Tauch) [web11]


Holzer's partnership in the "Siberia of Austria": extensive with complete biodiversity and little work

"Sepp Holzer's Krameterhof in the" Siberia of Austria"  with a range from 1,100 to 1,400 meters above sea level. from his rich experience and nature observations, he refuses, as the proprietor of an "unfavorable position", only cultivating some spruce trees. But he is experimenting and listening to nature for it's survival strategies. [...]
Holzer relentlessly unmasks many of the products and procedures of the building shopping centers and agricultural multinationals as hostile to nature - they only benefit the manufacturer / seller, but not the customer and certainly not the health of man and the environment.
Due to the size of his business with currently 45 hectares, he presents only extensively laborious procedures, which is exactly what "part-time gardeners" need when they have a full time job - not wanting to spend every spare minute with weeding, mowing, digging, fertilizing, cutting, watering, etc. Holzer shows how nature does that: The perfectly coordinated community of living with its biodiversity is maintaining itself - the human being only has to work with nature and not against it. "(Juergen L. Hemm) [web13]

Holzer compared with Fukuoka, Mollison, Bell, Holmgren, etc.

"A lot of new ideas and tips are coming here to try out and think about it ... Anyone who has already read Fukuoka, Mollison, Bell and Holmgren will find that Holzer's approach is again a unique kind of permaculture. Every author has it's wealth in his area and brings us further with new ideas. Of course Fukuoka remains undoubtedly the "forefather" of permaculture, but: there are very instructive and lots of new ideas!" (G. Hilbe) [web13]


Illustrations and tables - just for imitating

"Sepp Holzer has created something very impressive and describes it very vividly with some illustrations and tables for easy imitation for home or agricultural work in a larger style - everything sounds very logical and so easy." (Tina) [web11]

With expert know-how, funny, critical, enlightening - drawings and photos

"The book is written in a language as he speaks himself: with expert know-how, funny, critical and enlightening. I have found in this reading great theoretical and practical tips to build my own small hill culture ... and much more ... many suggestions for the land around me to transform it so that it can be productive, beautiful, practical, ecological and rich in plants and animals. Holzer is a lover of nature but also a businessman who shows how to grow fruits and vegetables with a new and nature friendly system... and also in large format.
Many drawings and several photos of his own projects help for a better interpretation of the words.
The most important thing I learned from this book is: you have to observe nature and then experiment! "(J.Popp) [web09]

Sepp Holzer already experimented as a boy

"For me, Sepp Holzer is a veteran of German permaculture - in this way he worked as a boy on his parents' farm already, observing and experimenting a lot ..." (pioneer) [web12]

The farm's landscape: water landscapes, ponds, harvest

"Forming the landscape, excavator is used. Water landscapes with ponds are planned, crop landscapes with cashier and shopping basket for self-harvesting is installed (fantastic!), animal husbandry in a large dimension, fruit landscapes, farmer's garden." (Jürgen Schröter) [web11]

The farm's landscape: hillbeds, mushroom growing, vegetables, fruit growing - the creation of small climates with walls or ponds

"Very good testimonials and descriptions for possible approaches in the permaculture for house, yard, garden, and also near the city gardens; facades and balcony planting; planting of hillbeds; mushroom growing; vegetable - and fruit growing and much more in the descriptions is presented by Sepp Holzer, of course always telling from his experience in the "mountains".
There are many descriptions of why and how to create microclimates (with stones, on walls of houses, by rock walls, with water gardens, etc.). There are also clear explanations, why it is important to keep water as long as possible on the property (actually one should not need additional watering, but alone with the already better rainwater (or who has using spring water - like Sepp Holzer) this should work." (Mentz) [web12 ]

The farm's landscape: optimally exploiting the territory with terraces and hillsides - mixed cultures - fruit varieties - animal husbandry

"One can learn here a lot about cultivation techniques, how to make the best use of the area with the help of terraces and beetles, explain mixed cultures that work well with each other, there is also a section on old and recommended fruit varieties and a chapter on animal husbandry in permaculture." (Katinki) [web10]


Details about symbiotic plants (partner plants) - much useful can be found

"In this book, among other things symbioses of plants are presented heartily detailed in my opinion too much because it consumes quite a few pages and you will find enough on the Internet on this topic and of course it does not interest every reader how mushrooms or original grain (Urkorn) at 1400m above sea level, but one should still read it carefully, because there is hidden everywhere a little bit useful :)
Livestock is also an issue that only a very small part of the readers can use, but also here you can make some useful for the private household. "(Daniele Mende) [web09]

Great ideas for the Alps

"There are great ideas in this book, but one has to know that not everything can be transferred from the high mountain farm to any other area." (Nicole) [web09]

"1.) There are instructions, but they remain too imprecise
2.) ... and they are mainly suitable for alpine regions "(B. Heuvel) [web13]

Creative solutions for extensive agriculture: springs, terraces, rock walls

"The book about Sepp Holzer's permaculture is a nice introduction to the topic of "permaculture" and is interesting for every organic gardener.
The Austrian farmer reveals a lot of creative solutions for extensive agriculture without being dogmatic. [...]
Obviously, it is important to the author to stimulate the reader to experiment, he gives practical tips and underpins them with his own observations. [...]
The main elements of management at Krameterhof are springs, terraced mountain slopes and rock faces. "(Evelyne Kluser) [web09]


One has to change the agriculture system in general

"If people were gardening and / or working according to this book, it would be very different with our environment, and for my part, I would do some things in my own garden. The book should be a must-read for agricultural schools and institutions etc.! " (R. Schild) [web13]

"After reading this book, you realize what's going wrong in 'normal' agriculture and how easy it is to change back. Really very informative, practical and wonderful." (Miriam Shiran) [web13]


Real organic farming - with profit, and with little energy consumption

"Fantastic book, exciting to read, it shows how real organic agriculture could look like if more farmers had the courage to do it differently, and permaculture is presented here as a profitable and energy-saving alternative not only for hobby gardeners but also for farmers." (Markus Meyer) [web09]

"Sepp Holzer's book baffles with how little effort one lives for, by and with nature." (Rainer Heinz) [web10]

Details: mushrooms, breeding worms, ennobling trees

"Fungus farming, worm breeding, the refining of trees" (Willi Peters) [web10]

Details: Pigs, tree fungi breed, pond plants

"Since he is a niche farmer, he also writes about pens for pigs and tree mushroom growing and ponds.This is not all usable for the allotment gardener, but the basic philosophy is very valuable and can also be used for the small practitioner. His chapter is very interesting on the fruit tree processing, with graphic representation of the working techniques. " (Markus Lindermayr) [web12]

Details: pigsties, fruit trees, domestic animal races (domestic breeds)

"There are lots of great tips for the construction of pigsties, the implementation of fruit trees and tips on domestic breeds. I found interesting Sepp Holzers shock therapy for trees.
In short, those who deal with self-sufficiency or permaculture must own this book. Holzer's methods may be incomprehensible to many, but they have managed to make a name for themselves in alternative gardening. Holzer is a pioneer! "(Wwoofer) [web13]

Details: Stable construction, installing lakes, effective and economical - clear words and pictures - and make your own experiments

"A book for practitioners. Finally. One gets detailed and simple instructions for the construction of stables, lakes, etc. Efficiency and economy is in the foreground, and for the benefit of all involved: Animals, plants and people!
Sepp Holzer is much more than a stubborn farmer with a green thumb. He wants to pass on his observations about animal and plant life. And he can - in clear words and with impressive pictures, which one finds in the book.
What I particularly like: one feels the need to encourage people not just to imitate but to make their own experiments." (Amazon Customer) [web13]

Garden lovers also have something of this book

"For the experienced hobby gardener it offers a lot of new ideas and suggestions." (J. Held) [web12]

"A very well written and informative book also recommended for garden beginners." (Ulrike) [web10]

"I'm thrilled that everything in nature without chemistry and Co. is possible and how many approaches of Holzer can be implemented - even in the small garden." (ps) [web11]

"Read the book and perform gardening as [a Fantasy] God has planned it [they were godS].
With this type of cultivation, any use of chemicals is superfluous.
Sepp Holzer provides an invaluable service to all who are interested, and he helps to make the world a better place." (Peter Pan) [web11]

The book is not a guide for balcony gardening in the city

"Living in an appartment that has only a small balcony, one can not implement everything, of course." (Alexa) [web09]

"Instead of hillbed I make cheap raised beds of metal composter, which there in the handicraft shopping center." (Herman Häuslschmid) [web12]

[But surface is doubled with a hillbed].

The book is not a guide for beginners

"If you do not already have extensive knowledge of agriculture and about the cycles of nature, if you intend to use this book as a beginner's guide, you will most likely fail catastrophically." (Duck) [web14]


Book 3: "Desert or paradise. Permaculture of Holzer now!" (original German: Wüste oder Paradies. Holzer'sche Permakultur jetzt!" - 2013)
Amazon-Link

Buch "Wüste oder
                        Paradies" von Sepp Holzer 2013

The content in the book "Desert or Paradise" (German: "Wüste oder Paradies") is above all the water management with the creation of ponds and lakes, because water is the basis of any renaturation of a landscape. Then will come forest development, mixed vegetable and fruit cultures and regeneration of soil life and thoughts about animal husbandry, where animals are valued as beings as employees. Thus one can secure the world food or independent self-sufficiency. The practical part describes the creation of ponds and lakes and permaculture in the garden and on the balcony, hanging gardens, vertical gardens. The transition of pesticide-machine farms to become permaculture farms is also an issue in the book, which needs to be phased out with regeneration, regulating pests, establishing irrigation and frost protection, biotope-appropriate animal husbandry, seed production, beekeeping and rescue of old trees etc. So the earth can be healed and natural disasters are avoided.

Reviews from readers (translation):

Working with nature

"Sepp Holzer shows you how to work with nature! Not against it ... it works only with nature ... Highly recommended!" (Alpha athlete) [web16]

"He gives very good suggestions." (Sönke Kramer) [web16]

"I can highly recommend this wonderful book to anyone on this earth who is concerned with living with nature and not against it." (Schmid) [web17]

Chapters: Water - ponds, lakes - reservoirs - permaculture - gardens in slums - gardens on the balcony - animals help to make gardening
The power of the water (
Die Kraft des Wassers)
Installing of ponds and lakes (
Die Anlage von Teichen und Seen)
Is a water retention basin the same as a reservoir? (No) - (
Ist ein Wasserretentionsbecken das gleich wie ein Stausee? (nein))
Brief introduction to permaculture (
Kurze Einführung in die Permakltur)
Urban gardening in poor areas (eg junkyard, slums) - (
Urban gardening in armen Gegenden (z. B. Schrottplaz, Slums)
Hanging, vertical gardens (
Hängende, senkrechte Gärten)
How can animals help to make land fertile (
Wie können Tiere helfen, Land fruchtbar zu machen)
(Johanna from Kassel) [web17]

"For me a very good book and a very profound but not snobby language." (Johanna from Kassel) [web17]

Holzer is teaching the healing of entire landscapes with ponds and lakes

"Who wants to deal with the healing of our habitats should not leave this book out!
Here you can learn about the re-creation of paradisiacal landscapes by designing with the life-giving water. "(Martin Richter) [web16]

"[...] mainly is about waters and water landscapes of a big size. Mr. Holzer also describes projects around the world that he has worked on, which I am very interested in, but I could hardly find anything about them on the Internet. Pitty. " (Brightly) [web16]

"This book is mainly about water, the interplay of fertile lands and water features that correspond to the natural course of nature. In short, it's about natural sustainable water management, not just in productive areas." (Johanna from Kassel) [web17]

"Water as a life-giving element usually playing the central role in the renaturation of a destroyed landscape. When the water balance is corrected, nature often heals itself. Sepp Holzer explains how working water landscapes are built.
However, this book is not just about large-scale landscapes, but also about the smallest garden size which can be managed according to Holzer's principles." (Ziska's book trip) [web18]

"Sepp Holzer describes how the so-called "natural disasters" arise and ABOVE ALL what mankind can do to bring nature back into order, namely
1. by reforestation with mixed forests (if possible with "edible" fruit, nut and chestnut trees) not monocultures!
2. by creating retention spaces for water: strategically placed lakes where rainwater can accumulate, releasing it to the earth and allowing the groundwater level to rise again.
This is above all a sensation especially for dry landscapes.
He also makes suggestions for agriculture: how to make money with permaculture." (Gertraud Gilgado) [web18]

Holzer is teaching the water projects - and life comes back

"This book shows how this can work - and it always starts with the water.
For some years now, permaculture expert and mountain farmer Sepp Holzer has traveled the world more than at home on Krameterhof. He advises Anastasia settlements in Russia and Ukraine, ecovillages in Turkey, monasteries in Greece, healing centers in the "USA", landowners in Scotland, Spain, and for four years also the Peace Research Center Tamera [in Portugal - link]. These places are transformed under his advice into natural paradises that can feed their owners. In every country on earth, as Sepp Holzer shows, people can feed themselves when they learn to communicate with nature again.
When Sepp Holzer asked me almost two years ago to support him with his new book, I gladly accepted. It should be a book about water! Because water is the most important thing. Water is life, it is information, it is wealth. Anyone who has put the water balance on their land in order, has done most of the work.
Soon, however, we realized that water is, above all, one thing: an element of connection. One can not write about water without mentioning everything else, and so the book is about a lot: forest building, landscape healing, vegetable growing, seed production, urban gardening, animal husbandry, up to thoughts about community founding, raising children and a program for global food justice ." (Leila Dregger) [web18]

Learning to read in nature

"This book opens the eyes to read in nature.
It is easy written and it gives a view of the natural processes, which for advanced peope as well as for beginners or just for nature lovers means an extension of the perception.
With such an alternative view, one automatically also questions other facts in one's life, such as the diet or the habits on shopping tours.
For me personally this meant that I felt much more connected to nature and that I was able to better understand their processes. This work is a baseline for natural viewing and management, whether I have only a balcony or a territory. "(Lion) [web16]


Put things into practice - with the book of Holzer

"This is a dream concerning the content. Compared with my own assumptions and expectations I got much more. It was, among other things, very clearly illustrated how things can be put into practical use. And there are among others many graphics and also many photos included. Also the direct, rhetorical pointing at "problem areas" is pleasing me very much as Sepp Holzer shows it. " (CustomerX) [web16]

Holzer can turn deserts into fertile landscapes - with EASY means!

"This book is a guidepost for the future. When deserts become fertile landscapes again and when this can be cone by everyone with simple means, that is a ray of light for the future. "(Jochen) [web16]


Holzer with a world plan against hunger - everyone can grow his own food ONESELF

">Water is the blood of the earth. Only water that binds to the earth, is allowed to seep in, will mineralize and ripen to be drinking water Only covered soil protects the water balance. Drinking water is the most important food.< Holzer explains how and why wells will salt nar the coast lines, why pigs are the best employees in the development of forests, why water is the most valuable asset of a landscape, why central giant water dams need to be destroyed, how we gain access to living drinking water and utility water installing a ring water pipeline with settlement construction and new house construction, why the egg is the optimal shape for water vessels, [he explains] that water is a living thing, that the hunger in our world is deliberately controlled to maximize profits, that in 2011 food prices have risen worldwide by 70% after a bumper harvest in 2010, that the answer to this can only be: become autonomous, regionally self-sufficient!

What I have always suspected, the author and a professor Lötsch from Vienna have estimated that our planet can easily feed up to 21 billion people, if these people will live and have their businesses according to the laws of nature! That's three times the current world population. And on p.120: It is possible for every region of the earth, in all climates, to produce healthy food in abundance! All participants have to be given their independence back: the soil, the plants, the animals, the people. [Leave chemistry out. Pharmaceutical industry kills. 1-god religions are killing because of their monocultures of their fantasies and because of their defamations against other cultures].

We need a revolution in agriculture, settlements and cities. From p.123 on there is a 10-point plan against hunger:
1. Fix the water balance = 70%.
2. Abolish factory farming.
3. Restore damaged areas.
4. Enlarge surfaces, e.g. through hillbeds.
5. Increase productivity.
6. Regionalization instead of globalization.
7. Land Reform: EVERY MAN HAS A RIGHT TO BE A LAND OWNER!
8. Neighborhood aid + community foundation.
9. Revive old knowledge.
10. Learning to read in nature.

Together is better than lonely - that counts for humans, animals and plants at the same time. Garbage hillbeds for slums. Sewage sludge is poisonous potting soil. Better is molehill earth. We have a right to harvested seeds ourselves. Natural breeding for regional plant varieties. Imagine your nature! Protect plants and animals from the soulless theory cripple ministers from Brussels!

Unfortunately, I read on page 172 the uncritical repetition of the CO2 lie, here called climate sin. Sepp, do you need that, or who put this sentence in your book?
[Supplement: Climate changes come by variation of solar activity, and Ice Ages come when planet Earth is passing an arm of the Milky Way - link].
On p.186ff animal is killed, with the consent of the animal? Here, the hunter Holzer's imagination clearly goes in the wrong direction. I suspect rightly the suspicion that he would like to renatural nature, among other things, to get back to good hunting grounds. That makes me very sad. But I put that aside and keep looking at what is good, acceptable and promising for me.

Over the past 40 years, 9 out of 10 farmers have given up [in Germany, Austria]. There is not only farmer's extinction by suicide in India, but also in German speaking and English speaking countries, thanks to Monsanto. There are hardly reports about it in our lulling to sleep media.

The biggest challenge is the education of our children. Education for self-employment and cooperation with nature. Only those who grow up with nature learn responsibility. Man, rebuild your relationship with nature! Only with an intact family there will be an intact society. Generation houses." (Maja) [web18]
