well. that confirms my suspicion.. biodynamic is certainly not vegan!

Greetings earthlings, not all cow manure is created equally (vast differences between perrenial pasture as fodder and chicken litter with wax chocolate byproducts with the accompanying big pharma attempted crutches; so that's partly why it doesn't all smell the same in its raw state, also it (healthy cow dung) changes in smell depending on what becomes of it upon impact; not all the same shit

also the word "cow" refers to a reproductive female

so "female cow" is redundant isn't it?

Steiner said in his lecture to bury it 2.5 to 5 feet if I remember correctly. A little to deep for us with Sonoran Desert soil!

How deep do you bury the horn?
