The goal is to perform a quick assessment to make real-time adjustments in the garden.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How many lessons are there?
There are 5 main lessons and you will have instant access to the training videos upon purchase. The live masterclass will be held once a year in the fall. You will have monthly live scoping sessions & Q&A with your mentor upon purchase of the class to get you started. The live monthly sessions will run from February to November.
How many weeks does the class run?
This class is now instant access and go at your own pace. The live class in the fall will meet for 5 weeks in total and will meet on Thursdays at 3pm Mountain time.
Are the live Q&A's at different times than the live lessons?
During the live class, the live Q&A's are at the end of each week's lessons and are audio recorded for your review later on. Additionally, you will have monthly scoping & Q&A sessions you can attend or watch the recording later. These monthly sessions will run from February through November.
What if we need help beyond the classroom?
This is a lifetime membership to this class and all future classes. You will be able to join any class now and in the future to refresh or join the monthly Q&A and ask questions. We also have our online forum for any questions you may have in between the live classes and monthly scoping Q&A's.
Will you ever hold classes at a different time than 3pm MST?
Yes, we will change our times to accommodate students from other countries the best we can. Please email us at info@crescivesoil.org for requests of different times to accommodate your time zone.
Is it important to attend the live classes or can we simply review the recordings?
We believe live sessions are important, and we also know that you just need to go at your own pace with something like this. Practice makes perfect, as they say, so get all the practice that you can. This is also the reason we have changed the format of this particular masterclass, so you have monthly access to live information and can also get started when it suits you.
Will I truly be able to guide my garden or compost with this technique?
Absolutely! Learning to grow with microbes is all about pattern recognition and learning how to read that pattern. This class will show you how to read your soil through the different microbes you find and the balance of each. We learn the technique and then let the microbes lead the way.
Do you ship the lab kit internationally?
Yes, we do ship the lab kit internationally. We just ask that you cover the shipment of the kit for those international students. Sometimes there are delays in getting international shipments out due to the nature of customs.
Do you have to have a camera set-up?
No, you do not have to have a camera set-up for your microscope, though you will be limited in your communication when it comes to identifying organisms under the microscope. To gain the most from the class, we do suggest a camera set-up. When you sign up, you will receive a list of equipment that we recommend, both for microscopes and for camera set-up.
What other times will you be teaching this class this year?
We will teach the live session for this masterclass on October 31st 2024. Until then you will learn all you can from the video training and the monthly live sessions.
