Mind-Blowing Success Stories from Life in the Soils Students+Another Free Ebook!

Published: Sat, 04/28/18

Hey there ,

It's Raleigh again, just wanted to jump in and share more about the Life in the Soil Classes.

Usually Dr. Carole Rollins (the Class Facilitator) sends out this information, but this time I'll be filling in to share it with you. I don't often send out this many emails (especially on the weekend) but the results from the students who work with Elaine are incredible. It's really cool to hear the stories of webinar attendees who became students, saved their farms, or were inspired create a career restoring soil health.

Some folks in the classes have used it to improve their ranches and farms, others are park managers dealing with trees and lawns, and others are biologists and homesteaders who are making soil restoration their full time career. They come from all ages, and all backgrounds, so it's amazing to hear what they've been doing.

Here's just a few examples of what Life in the Soil Class Graduates have accomplished.

Shane shared a pretty incredible story during Thursday's webinar. In 2015, his 1500 hectare organic banana farm was on the ropes, facing collapse from plant mortality and high costs. When he found the classes online, he dove in despite being in the middle of the season. In just over a year, he's had incredible results on his farm. By making biologically active compost, he was able to transform his farm completely. The yields were higher, plant quality and quantity skyrocketed, and soil health improved along with his profits. He effectively saved the farm by restoring his soil biology.

Brian Vagg

Brian was a homesteader and gardener his whole life, but felt like something was missing from his knowledge base. When he took the classes, his brain lit up with possibilities with what could be done to restore soil and plant health. When he bought his 5 acre homestead, he was able to convert a gravelly backyard into a rich food forest thanks to his newfound skills in monitoring biology and making compost. Now he's in the process of becoming a full-time Life in the Soils Consultant so he can help farmers like Shane secure their future by restoring their soil.

Vivian Kaloxilos

You may have heard a bit about her in the webinar, but Vivian was an enthusiastic fan of Elaine's that took the leap, and signed up for the classes so she could transition towards a career in regenerative agriculture. After completing the Life in the Soil Classes, she started working one on one with Elaine, and ended up helping farmers and landscapers create compost and compost tea treatments. She now manages her own professional soil restoration and compost company in Quebec called DocTerre.

Mollie Haviland

Molly Haviland was a student of Dr. Ingham’s and took the courses because of her passion for Ecology. She became obsessed with soil biology, and after completing the courses, she starting working with Elaine one on one to become a Life in the Soils Consultant. Now she is a professional Soil Ecologist, a “Microherder” that helps farmers and ranchers across North America restore their degraded soil. She runs her own company, called Haviland Earth Regeneration.

If you want to learn more about what students have achieved, then definitely check out the success stories below. It's impressive enough hearing stories from Elaine, like how her compost process helped saved Dairy Farms in Australia 200K a year, or how Compost Tea saved thousands of city trees in New York. However, what's even more impressive is hearing what her students have done; like Todd Harrington, who transformed 150 acres of bare concrete into a brand new city park outside of Manhattan. It's fascinating stuff!

How Soil Restoration Works

Vivian, Shane, Mollie, Todd and Brian are great examples of what students can do, but their stories are only a few out of the 1100+ people who have taken the classes around the world.

Here's what one student said recently:

I signed up for all four classes in Nov, and I love everything i am learning. Elaine is a wonderful teacher and such an HUGE inspiration. I am constantly WOWED by what she's presenting, and WHO she is. It's wonderful to be learning from an empowered, no B.S, straight-shooter of a WOMAN! I am excited to complete this training all the way through to certification and become one of your soil consultants. This work gets me passion because I truly believe in this method and feel that being involved in this work, is being a part of a powerful life-affirming revolution. this is something I can really get behind. I've already convinced a couple farmers to convert, and have been asked by multiple people to consult for them.

Check Out the Classes

To get the discount, just enter the code rwapril on the checkout page.

Many students come into these classes knowing very little about soil biology or how to read their soil health.

Though they deeply care for their land, they lack the experience to read their soil biology, and actually create compost and compost tea that will restore it. You might be passionate about repairing your soil fertility...but you just may not know how.

By the time these students finish the classes, they gain a deep, intimate understanding of the Soil Foodweb, and learn how to verify their soil biology, and repair it. Students leave with the confidence to restore the soil in the land they cherish, and gain the experience to create compost and compost teas for their land base. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on fertilizer, and wasting hundreds of hours on treatments that don't work, you get a roadmap and a soil restoration plan. As Elaine says, you'll learn to make compost worth its weight in platinum.
