I took 3 of Susan's courses, and this is BY FAR the most mind-blowingly informative one! The additional resources are abundant and helpful also.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Susan has distilled all the essentials of soil care (much of which it took me years to learn through books, research and trial and error) into an easily digestible course. This is an excellent course for the backyard grower, small scale production/community orchards or for anyone wanting to up their backyard orchard game!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was a great course! The videos are informative as well as entertaining. Susan always uses the most natural approach to fertilizing. The DIY Foliar sprays are a great resource to add to your tool chest. This course is definitely money well spent!
