Overview

From Weeds to Vegetables Easily and Quickly

No Dig Gardening online course is perfect for when you’re starting out. It’s also a great way to consolidate your existing understanding of no dig.

I’ll walk you through how to start with the soil you have, so you can grow beautiful, healthy vegetables. You’ll learn how to get your soil right, and how that leads to saving time and bountiful harvests.

One great aspect of no dig is that you don’t need any expensive kit, or any fertilisers or feeds – almost everything you need is in the soil. By the end of the course, you’ll have all the knowledge and confidence you need to produce amazing results.

Please note, the written content of the course is similar to No Dig Gardening, Course Book 1.

Content

  • 6 modules containing 19 lessons.
  • All lessons contain instructional videos, the majority of which are exclusive to the course and not available on YouTube.
  • There is a multiple choice quiz at the end of each lesson, for enjoyment and to consolidate learning. A certificate on completion of the course can also be sent via email on request.
  • There are no downloadable PDFs or worksheets.
  • You will have lifetime access to the course, which allows you to refer back to any part at any time.
