The original biodynamic sowing and planting calendar, now in its 46th year. This useful guide shows the optimum days for sowing, pruning, and harvesting various plant-crops, as well as working with bees. It is presented in colour with clear symbols and explanations. This year, for the first time, the calendar includes a pullout wallchart which can be pinned up in a barn, shed or greenhouse as a handy quick reference.
For over forty years, Maria Thun has been researching optimum days for sowing, pruning and harvesting various plant crops. Here, collected together for the first time, are results from this work, showing the influence of the rhythms of sun, moon, and planets on plant growth. This book shows that if farmers and gardeners link their work into these cosmic rhythms, the quality of their produce is markedly increased. Avoiding unsuitable days is shown to help prevent crop damage through disease and pests. Methods of fertilizing and spraying have been developed which further enhance produce, allowing a sustainable and ecologically balanced agriculture. Includes sections on the stars, the soil, composting and manuring, weeds and pests, as well as growing cereals, vegetables, herbs, fruit and vineyards.
Join the author on a journey through the seasons and discover great new tips and suggestions. The Biodynamic Year contains a wealth of advice for gardeners who wish to care for and manage nature more responsibly and successfully.
-- A newly revised edition Biodynamics is an internationally recognized approach to organic agriculture in which the farmer or gardener respects and works with the spiritual dimension of the earth's environment. In a world where conventional agricultural methods threaten the environment, biodynamic farms and gardens are designed to have a sound ecological balance. This concise and fully illustrated book presents evidence that biodynamic crops put down deeper roots, show strong resistance to disease and have better keeping qualities than conventionally produced crops.
In "Tuinieren zonder gif", al dan niet volgens de biologisch-dynamische methode (Hollandia N.V 1972 - ISBN 90 6045 741 2) beschrijft Alwin Seifert in alle technische en biologische details de "kunst om een nieuw soort compost" te maken.
