Letitgrow69,
Please keep in mind that none of this is intended as a personal attack. Â=
I don't see Biodynamics as quackery and think vortex brewers can work ju=
st fine for making ACT. Â I think that there are more efficient options=
for creating a diversity and concentration of microbial life (air lifts) a=
nd other methods that will provide better #'s, like our KIS design. Â T=
hat being said, if you manage your inputs properly in a vortex brewer, you =
can make ACT.
I just hear a lot of claims from vortex brewers about the "potency" of wate=
r, and how "science" is fallible and we can't measure the true impacts of v=
ortex systems.
There are proven facts by "modern scientist" that a vortex creates a large =
amount of power and would spin indefinably if there was no Resistance.Â=
Isn't that the case with any body of mass that's put into motion? Â Bas=
ic physics, right?
I would like to see something quantifiable out of the Biodynamic group. Â=
If you followed basic Biodynamic practices but used a conventional or ai=
r lift brewer, would your plants somehow suffer for it? Â I don't agree=
with some of the more spiritual aspects of Biodynamics, but in general I t=
hink it's sound biological management practices. Â I think that biodyna=
mic farmers spend more time examining their land and soil, which has a posi=
tive correlation on the quality of their crops.
Science shows us that there are better, more efficient ways of raising DO l=
evels in a liquid medium for ACT. Â Since the main benefit of ACT is to=
create nutrient cycling through a high diversity of bacteria, archaea, fun=
gi, flagellates, amoeba, and ciliates, it stands to reason that a brewing s=
ystem that incorporates an air pump and air lift would allow for a higher q=
uality tea.
There is much more to life then what we can touch smell or see. Just becaus=
e our souls are getting old enough to understand this doesn't mean it isn't=
true. Remember there was a time when the earth was flat, you can see just =
how right those "modern Scientist" were.
This is the argument I always hear from Biodynamic growers and vortex peopl=
e. Â I don't think it's a fair argument because it's totally untestable=
and falls into the realm of mysticism. Â While science isn't always ri=
ght, one great thing about it is that it keep exploring new hypothesis and =
ideas, rejecting things when they aren't supported by data or research, and=
is able to evolve for precisely that reason.
My 2 cents,
Tad

I agree there is a lot of quackery out in the world but some of it holds tr=
ue. Everyone is trying to make a buck anyway they can. Just because they ta=
ke a good idea and exploit it does not mean there isn't any fact behind it.=
"Modern science" can only agree with some of the facts without throwing ou=
t out years of "scientific fact". Just look at Physics for example, everyda=
y scientists are looking for new way to figure out how the world works and =
the more they dig the more they realize how little we know, and there must =
be a higher power out there controlling things because it is the only to ex=
plain it. With a vortex it is the same thing. I follow the works of Ruoldof=
Stiner (the father of Bio-dynamics) and for string Bio-dynamic recipes vor=
tex s are great. They provide both highly energetic left spin order right t=
o chaos. There are proven facts by "modern scientist" that a vortex creates=
a large amount of power and would spin indefinably if there was no
Resistance. I believe as well as the entire Bio-dynamic community that thi=
s will potentize any small amount good compost into energetic life giving c=
oncoction that will then energize the land to provide healthy nutrient dens=
e foods. Many people believe this is hub bub, but just look at the humic an=
d organic matter levels on Bio-daynamic farms. They rival or exceed that st=
andard organic practices. There is much more to life then what we can touch=
smell or see. Just because our souls are getting old enough to understand=
this doesn't mean it isn't true. Remember there was a time when the earth =
was flat, you can see just how right those "modern Scientist" were.

great. I found a website
