- How to quickly prepare planting cells- using the Ladakhi Organic Method- to contain soil, water, fertilizers, seeds, without losing ANY of it
- How to prepare your soil, by adding whatever organic nutrients you have on-hand or can obtain (manure, composts, food scraps)- then levelling the soil
- How to budget your time in ONE DAY to fully prep, then plant each cell- and to NOT need days or weeks to do so, as in the traditional farming scenarios
- LEARN THREE one-day planting scenarios- to suit your situation based on what you CAN or PREFER to do, and what resources you have available
- USE the given one-day timetable, to bring you from breaking ground to planting in one day's time

Description
WELCOME! to a Quiet Evolution in Organic Farming.
As evolutions inevitably emerge after periods of
calamity, upheaval, loss, severe restriction, and general nastiness.
Let me guess- YOU have minimal time to mess with something like FARMING -
BUT you DO want high quality Food-
and YOU want results ASAP -
am I CLOSE ENOUGH? THIS IS YOUR STOP-
YOU HAVE FOUND THE QUICKEST WAY TO GET THERE!
Now, more than ever, people from all walks of life and professions, are needing a
reliable supply of Food- high quality, organic food which delivers the highest
nutrition- for themselves, their families, their communities.
Q: What is This Course About?
This course is about easy-to-learn, concentrated organic farming, actually a kind of Advanced Farming Method, yet done in a simple enough way that everyone can perhaps understand.
Q: WHO is This Course For?
Anyone brave enough to attempt a new thing,
- regardless of their own uneasiness towards physical labour,
- or to perform something perceived to be beneath their station in Life,
- or despite a lack of great resource, including land;
- and regardless of "The Odds".
Q: What is a Food Forest?
This is a fancy way of saying a lot of food growing in a relatively small space.
And, we do it in one day.
Q: How much do we plant in one day ?
Depends on your personal energy, and how many buddies you got with you.
Suffice to say, you will start from scratch- THEN prepare, nutrify, and plant at least one cell-
or one unit of Land- today.
Or, a whole field, conditions allowing.
And, we'll take you through from A to Z - even give you a schedule to follow -
to ensure you are planting seeds and watering your new farm plot, by Day's End.
Q: WHAT does This Course want From YOU?
Everyone loves the land, loves this Earth,
regardless of claims otherwise. We are helpless to the truth of that.
This course wants you Back to Earth- to reclaim your Universal tie to common soil, to our Earth Mother.
Q: Are YOU, or have you been a farmer?
