Description : Created out of indications given by Rudolf Steiner around 1924, Biodynamic farming/gardening is a spiritual, artistic and sophisticated form of organic horticulture aimed at the nurture, care and enhancement of the earth. It places a special emphasis on the interdependence and unity of the elements that make up a particular ecosystem or landscape – soil, plants, animals and weather. It uses special herbal ‘preparations’ to increase the energetic quality of a farm or garden. By thus stimulating growth and health, Biodynamics goes beyond organic practices to actually begin to heal the earth itself.
Companion planting, crop rotation, green and liquid manures, compost, the integration of crops and livestock, planting and harvesting in harmony with the lunar and planetary cycles are some of the hallmarks of the Biodynamic approach.
