Dear Ibo, How biodynamic does a farm have to be to be biodynamic? Here is what Rudolf Steiner had to say about farms: A farm is true to its essential nature, in the best sense of the word, if it is conceived as a kind of individual entity in itself — a self-contained individuality. Every…
Hemp Cultivation: Secrets of the Soil
Ideally crops would be grown in mixed covers with as little soil disturbance as possible while feeding, balancing and enriching the soil’s ecology with mulches, humified compost, raw humates and soil drenches to harvest warmth, light, water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen from the atmosphere.
Corn Breeding: Another Perspective
I found Walter Goldstein’s article on corn breeding (in BIODYNAMICS 232) at Michael Fields Institute to be a model of vision, dedication and precision. This is a field of endeavor that for much too long has gone in the direction of removing seed saving from farmers’ hands, making them dependent on things entirely beyond their…
Weather Moderation: Drawing Rain Using Biodynamic Preparations
Biodynamic Preparations and Drought
Hugh Lovel
How certain notions arise and become entrenched is a bit of a mystery, especially when they are wrong. Yet they do get started and entrenched. One of these is the belief that when things dry up and little moisture is available we cannot put out biodynamic preparations—as if these were delicate microbial cultures that must have moist conditions to establish and thrive. This is so far from true it seems impossible that it ever got started. Yet it did.
Essential Oils in Plants using Biodynamic Preparations
Dear Hugh and Shabari, Trust you enjoyed your trip to SA and will return with more of your wisdom. I heard talk that we could receive the recording but this did not happen?? Please could you help me understand the biology or process of oil production in plants. Rosemary or Rose petals for instance…. I…
Azolla as a nitrogen fixer and source
It isn’t too clear what this Azotic Technologies mob is on about, but it looks like a microbial product not a DNA insertion or GMO tech. One of the annoying features of most of these sorts of things is the marketers like to keep the details of what they are selling very clost to their…
Ending Global Warming
“You can’t be free when you depend on someone else for your food.” –Wendell Berry News Flash: Man-made warming may have begun earlier than we thought Gayathri Vaidyanathan, E&E reporter ClimateWire: Thursday, August 25, 2016 Before gasoline-powered cars crowded roads, before even the first coal-fired power plant was built in the United States, humans had…
Radionic instruments code the vibrational quality of substance in terms of a chain of numbers.
Radionics Cards used by Quantum Agriculture Radionic Instruments are printed with magnetic ink on high quality photo paper. They work best with Quantum Ag Instruments. Magneto Geometry was developed by Malcolm Rae, one of a group of pioneering Doctors, Homoeopaths and Radionic researchers working in Britain from the 1940s through to the 1980s. This group…

Humus Flywheel Effect
There is a common belief that humus is the result of the breakdown of organic materials in the soil. While this is true it is less than true because the organic materials do need to break down into simple organic compounds—and from there they need to be built back up again into large, complex carbon…
