Description : For anyone already practising, or turning to, biodynamic gardening and farming methods, numerous detailed questions arise, such as:
* How do you choose your seeds?
* What fertilisers should you use?
* Which natural products are most effective?
This manual, fully illustrated with explanatory diagrams and photographs, provides the answers. The book covers
* all aspects of making and using biodynamic preparations and composts
* managing the health of plants
* weed control
* parasite control
* issues around mixed cultivation
* animal care
* specialised crops and planting such as fruit trees and vines
Although the technical aspects of biodynamic growing are exhaustively covered, the author also considers the human qualities necessary for this kind of agriculture to succeed.
This is an invaluable guide for all biodynamic growers to have to hand daily.
