Interview with Duncan Dunderstone
Comedy Break — by Hamish Mac February 2, 2009
Today at The Permaculture Research Institute we are fortunate to be talking to Duncan Dunderstone, renowned author of the Extreme Permaculture series of books, about his new book “Permaculture for Very Confined Spaces: A Five Year Study into Self-sufficiency in Long Bay Jail”. His previous works include “Rooftop Permaculture: a Guide for Mount Everest Climbers” , and the wildly successful top-seller “Permaculture for the Hitman”.

Hamish: Good morning Duncan. Can I start by asking why you wrote this book?
DD: G’day. I think it is important that ordinary everyday folks like you and me get to enjoy the benefits of permaculture. I mean, why should free, high quality organic food and a great sustainable lifestyle be available to only a select few? And besides, I had a bit of time on my hands.
Hamish: And why did you choose Long Bay Jail for your study?
DD: I didn’t.
