All the theory notions and practices you need to perfectly master no-till gardening. The content is in the form of videos in two different formats: you’ll always hear my voice, and either you'll see me talking, or you'll see a animated graphics.
It’s condensed content. It’s a good idea to take notes and to listen to each video a few times to absorb it well. Lifetime access allows you to return over months and years, refining your knowledge by combining it with your practical experience.
It provides some exercises to help you familiarize yourself with the concepts.
It’s a video course and you have access to it for life, so you can watch it at your own pace!
The total time is 2 hours and 40 minutes, split into several small videos.
Absolutely! On the first day, even. As soon as you apply the mulch, the wheel of life starts turning.
The ease of understanding. The animated graphics are very visual and the videos where I speak feel as if we were sitting face to face and I was explaining it to you. It includes content that is not in the book, and it is also explained differently, through a different medium. The ideal is to have the book, because the two are complementary.
(But Le jardin vivrier is not translated yet... Do you know an English-language editor?)
On a case-by-case basis. If the training doesn’t suit you, come talk to me about it. By the way, I am also very keen on constructive criticism as well as positive comments!
