Hi Everyone, FYI,
This can be an easy way of getting nutrients back into the soil from kitchen waste, in addition to chop and drop. Sharing this because I like his take on making amendments from scratch at home with stuff some of us can’t compost d/t arid conditions, zoning restrictions etc. Also good for soil that needs to be built up rather than trucked in for those building new growing areas on reclaimed concrete or subsoil, disease mitigation etc. The book and videos are available. The course can be helpful for discussion and explanation.
Spring is Around the Corner!

Reviews From Prior Series
“Coming from a farming background with not a lot of scientific experience I found everything [in the workshop] to be not only clear but really helpful in removing barriers that had made more science-heavy books/articles/etc. feel over my head. I feel excited to dig in deeper! (Pun intended).”
“As someone who has only been dabbling in my garden for a long time, I did have a feeling of anxiety prior to taking this class, feeling that I was in over my head. However, … Nigel really explained everything in detail that was approachable and meaningful. I might not have the knowledge base that others had in the class, but this was almost a moot point. I definitely got so much out of these sessions.”

Ah, I was put off by the dead YT link on the website. Thanks for getting me to look for the channel: [https://www.youtube.com/@nigelpalmer3439/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@nigelpalmer3439/videos)
Some interesting stuff to check out there.
Also a list of podcast interviews he’s done at [https://www.nigel-palmer.com/podcasts](https://www.nigel-palmer.com/podcasts)

I know what you mean, I always wonder if a course is worth it, when there is a book at a regular price and free videos. If it looks like (1) I can make back the cost of the course and (2) I really want to dig in and ask questions and discuss, then maybe.
