Rated 2 out of 5 by from So so I echo the comments of other reviewers regarding disappointment in the lecturer's recommendation to use harmful chemical herbicides i.e. round up - a known carcinogen. This immediately prejudiced me against the course. That aside, this seems like a useful course for beginners but not very helpful for someone who already has some plant/horticultural knowledge.
