Testimonials
Back Yard Cover Crops and Soil Secrets: “College/ grad school level thought processes – Put on your listening ears and sit down. Distractions trying to multi-task with this on headphones means you WILL listen to it two or three times. I do anyway for absorption and to really get it deep into my gray matter.
I am part way through the course and in October, I was hurry-up cover cropping my big garden for the winter here in 6a/b. I am directly applying the lecture material immediately. It is helping me NOW, but also going forward. What a blessing to find a giant on whose shoulders to stand. Thanks Jack, you’re a jerk.” – By Cloverfield Paradox on October 27, 2024 at 10:01 am
Back Yard Cover Crops and Soil Secrets: “Fantastic course!! – The depth in which Jack goes to explain everything is about as thorough as it gets. His passion and experience on this topic make it very easy to follow along and listen. The combination of the PowerPoint presentation and the video lecture is very well balanced and informative. Make sure to pay close attention and take notes during the lecture, because some of the details he talks about are in the final exam, but not in the PowerPoint. Overall very happy with the information provided and am very excited to put this into action. Looking forward to more courses in the future!!” – By kawks on September 19, 2024 at 8:27 am
Simplified Bioreactor Composting: “EXCELLENT! – This was a fantastic course and extremely well laid out. I learned a lot in the lectures and the tests were super helpful to make sure that I understood everything I was learning. I really enjoyed watching the live class and picked up some things visually that cemented what I had heard previously. I really appreciate the bonus video on replacing the pipes with wrapped fencing as I have plenty of fencing lying around but zero pipes and those are stupid expensive where I live. Best of all, as a woman in my mid-50’s, I have a TON of confidence that yes, I can by myself put this together (this upcoming weekend!), get it going, and more importantly keep it alive so that it can be of use in my gardens. Not to mention that I won’t sound like an idiot about what I’m trying to do and why. I am *very* much looking forward to the class on Biochar and whatever else comes along. Thanks, Jack, for making this accessible and interesting to boot.” – By kerimae on April 27, 2024 at 11:06 pm
