Hi Laura,

We meet again on a different list besides "BD Now". I just want to ask
you to tell the particular time to collect and burn the seeds and the
techniques involved because I sense that "poulsbokid" would like to try
it.

Laura and I are both Bio-Dynamic farmers. This is a farming method
according to lectures given by Rudolf Steiner in 1925. Laura probably
has a better background than I do in Anthroposophy, which is Steiner's
philosophy. He wrote many books from the perspective of a psychic. He
is very hard to understand.

I have been using the Bio-Dynamic method for many years without
understanding Steiner's philosophy. I'm trying to learn and am reading
his "Outline of Occult Science" now which is his version of how the
solar system and humanity began. It's far out and not for a beginner.
I'll be asking for help on BD Now when I get through. It's so detailed
and hard to read that I fall asleep after about 2 pages, but I'm
persistent.

If you want to know about Bio-Dynamics, why don't you go to
<oregonbd.org>, which is a progressive BD site. BD has been necessarily
private and some BD practitioners are trying to make it more
accessible. It is a 75 year old method that uses herbal preparations
for soil enrichment that feed certain soil microbes. Hope this helps.
Remember, I'm just a neophyte.

Merla

it's a Biodynamic technique
collect the seeds at the appropriate time (refer to Maria Thun calendar
or similar) burn the weed seeds, then dilute them in water and spray.
Some people also make dilutions or potenize similar to homeopathy. lots
