Biodynamic Gardening -- the tools and techniques to nurture your garden

When starting to garden in a biodynamic way it can be difficult working out what to do when. This DVD gives you the tools and shows you the techniques you need to know.

Lynette West, of the Biodynamic Education Centre, shows biodynamic gardening methods to the gardeners at Garden Organic, Ryton. Learn with them the vortex to chaos stirring technique; how to make biodynamic compost and understand the biodynamic preparations; how to make and use manure concentrate, horn manure (BD500) and horn silica (BD501); how to work with the sowing and planting calendar and much, much more...

The aim of biodynamic practice is to revitalise the soil and make it open and receptive to all the forces of the cosmos. In 1924, at the request of German farmers concerned about the decline in soil and animal fertility, Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian scientist, gave a series of lectures suggesting ways to work with the energies of the earth, moon, sun and planets as well as plants such as yarrow, chamomile, nettles, oak bark, valerian and dandelion to heal the earth,

In biodynamics it is believed that there is nowhere quite like your garden. It has its own combination of soil, microorganisms and micro climate. Nobody else can produce fruit and vegetables quite like yours. What could be better than eating food grown in your own unique garden? 'Biodynamic Gardening -- the tools and techniques to nurture your garden' will help you have a bumper harvest!

The full length DVD is available demystified biodynamic techniques that had previously remained elusive and so we have made it available from http://www.green-shopping.co.uk

In making, we experience things directly, in doing so, we recognize the inherent qualities of things, we learn the properties of materials, and connect with the intrinsic forces that drive the universe.

Through tangible immersion, we develop ways of thinking, that facilitate learning, and optimize our capacity for, and complexity of understanding, and our effectiveness in action.

Magic: Any phenomenon, imbued with wonder, compensating for, or in place of understanding.

[Helioforge]

When we study the world through the filters of language and reference, we cannot understand the inherent complexity of the world around us, and can only impose upon it.

When we study things directly, the tangible world becomes our library, and we learn to act in responsible negotiation with the greater world.

Tangible things provide a fullness of experience, and focusing on them opens our minds to the actual qualities of things.

Demystified? Sounds good. Drop this crazy astrology woo-woo. The forces of the nitrogen cycle are real. The forces of the cosmos stuff is not. Biodynamic stuff could be great. You need to do the scientific work and study nutrient levels, crop yields, etc. to see if what you're doing has an affect in the real world. Separate out myths and bad ideas (elliptical orbit? Not really important... it's angle of the earth that matters for our seasons). This is mystic stuff, not demystified.

Interesting but i always thought gardening like this was common sense.
