To learn more

What does the training contain ?

All the theoretical notions and practical gestures you need to perfectly master no-till gardening. The content is in the form of videos of two different formats : it’s always me who speaks and either you see me talking, or you see an animated board.

It’s condensed content. It is very relevant to take notes and devote several listens to each video to absorb well. Lifetime access allows you to return over months and years, refining your knowledge by combining it with your practical experience.

Some exercises are proposed to familiarize oneself with the concepts.

What investment in time does it ask for ?

It’s a video training and you have access for life, so you really listen to it at your own pace!

There are in total 2h40 of videos split into several small videos.

Will I get results from the first year ?

Oh yes, and not the least ! On the first day, even. From the application of the mulch, the wheel of the Vivant clicks.

What is the main advantage of this training ?

The ease of understanding. The animated presentations are very visual and the videos where I speak are as if we were sitting face to face and I was explaining it to you. Both there is content that is not in the book, both it is explained differently and by 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 anglophone editor ?)

Is it refundable ?

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 !
