Read MoreThis course was extremely informative. I never have given thought to organic gardening practices being just as harmful as regular farming. This course goes into great detail on the different reasons why your garden may be failing, and then gives REAL solutions for fixing your garden woes. living in Florida, bugs will always be a problem, but Mary lays out how to combat bad bugs, as well as how to attract the good ones! This course actually makes me excited to start gardening again this fall! Now my only struggle will be to keep my husband from killing all the spiders! Thank you for this über informative class and for reigniting my passions for healthy gardening!

Read MoreThis was very informative. Not only did you tell us how to get rid of bugs, how to improve the soil (or keep from distroying it), but you also gave us places to find certain things to help us in this endeavor. I would like to have had a button where I could print out certain things such as what flowers are good for keeping out bugs.

Read MoreWonderfully informative to people who may just be starting a garden or are having issues with pests. A great overview of chemical free pest control which is so important when talking about the foods our families eat. Broken down well enough anyone could understand. I cannot wait to start planting and now feel like I have a head start on one of the main issues gardeners face. I definitely cannot wait to take more courses from Life is Just Ducky!

Read MoreThis was pretty in-depth for being so short a course. You gave many great examples of what to do and what NOT to do. I liked how to get rid of pests by using certain plants and the crop rotation was great too. Thank you for providing me with this info for free. I'm looking forward to your emails.

Read MoreGood, easy to follow information that covers most things I would discuss as a Master Gardener in our advice clinics. Some printouts might be nice, such as your favorite flowers and herbs to plant in the garden and why, or a link to other sites with easy to print out material for reference after taking your course. A list of your reference and / or favorite books, web sites etc. could be helpful as well.
