Great workshop. I wish there was even more time to go into practical details on EM, terra preta and different types of animal manure.

She was knowledgeable. She could improve on both the Big Picture rationale and on filling in some of the assumptions and blanks in her logic.

Marisha did a great job of covering a lot of information in a non-rushed easy to listen to style. She also did a great job of fielding all questions. Very informative session.
