My Story

International Affairs / History Started in the Industry 3 years ago I’ve seen it with my own eyes EXPERIENCE

“We go through the fields, and all of a sudden the knowledge is there in us. We know it absolutely. Afterwards, we put it to the test and find it confirmed.”

- from “The Agriculture Course”

What is Biodynamics?

Rudolph Steiner– The Agriculture Course BOOK = 8 lectures, June 7 – 16, 1924

(WH)olistic Agriculture – Homeopathic Farming– The Farm / Grow Room is its own Organism

Biodynamic ‘Preps’ BD500-508 Stellar Influence

Biodynamic ‘Preps’ BD500-508

BD500 Horn Humus (Earth) BD501 Horn Silica (Sun) BD502 Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) (Venus) BD503 Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) (Mercury) BD504 Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioeca) (Mars) BD505 Oak Bark (Quercus robur) (Moon) BD506 Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) (Jupiter) BD507 Valerian (Valerianum officinalis) (Saturn) BD508 Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) (Cometary)

BD500, BD501 field sprayBD502 – BD508 vegetable substances used in compost preparations

BD500: Horn Humus (Earth)

Cow manure potentized in a cow horn - WINTER SHAPE - cow horn is an instrument. One horns worth of BD500 is capable of treating almost four

acres to active biological activity in the soil and encourage root development.

The idea of potentizing manure in a horn may sound far fetched, but consider the importance of shapes. Tone quality of instruments, such as drums, depends on the shape of the instrument. If the shape is off, the sound vibrations are disharmonious.

BD501: Horn Silica (Sun)

BD501 Horn Silica (Sun) finely ground quartz potentized in a cow horn - SUMMER

Enhance light metabolism in the plant, stimulating photosynthesis and the formation of chlorophyll. It is intended to influence the color, aroma, flavor, and keeping quality of the crops.

The average horn produces 300-500 grams of 501, enough for 150 to 250 acres of land.

Ex: Best planting times

The Seasons – Earth’s daily spinning and Earth around our Sun AND further delineated by the cosmos.

Biodynamics includes the interaction of the Earth and Moon AND all the other planets in our solar system and the constellations.

Consequently, the organisms, minerals, plants and the whole ecosystem are easily able to take up the nourishment that has been made available.

Are we thinking about this in a hydroponic garden?

What are Subtle Energies?

DEFINITION:

difficult to understand or perceive (merriam-webster)

…what we can’t measure

Living Water

Vortex

Perspective: Change your mindstyle!

SUBTLE ENERGIES

Outside the measurement of the machines humans have calibrated; More profound than what we can measure.

Acupuncture, homeopathy, yoga, meditation, chakras, etc.

Resonance – why we don’t fall apart…– Physical Etheric Atral Ego– Punch a tornado, a resonance creates physicality– Creates order amongst chaos;

this is all accomplished via the organization of subtle energies that we cannot measure, and that no one talks about…

Subtle Energies

How does the fungi know how to catch the lesionous nematode? How does 10x the Calcium come out of a worms ass?

Living Water

Why does a river meander?

Tap Water = Dead Virgin Spring = Alive

We can know this, but…

how do we measure the

difference!?

Example: Masaru Emoto

VORTEX

Steiner stir preps Water made vulnerable

– VB - Chaos to Organization

Nature Man

Implosive Energy Regeneration Biomagnetism Levitation Integration of energy Inward

Explosive Energy Destruction Electricity Centrifugal Ideology Combustion Engine Outward

Why are we not thinking about these concepts our gardens?

Viktor Schauberger

Where did we go wrong?

EDUCATION– Analytical, data driven thinking, replicability– If we only know what we are taught we will never know anything.

Limitations of LANGUAGE– Water– Salt– Compost

MOTIVE - No morality in capitalism– Materialism - Using toxins in our lawns and gardens– 93% of salt worldwide for industrial purpose– EMPTY FOOD!

Vicious Cycle: We’re fooling ourselves!– Doing the same things and expecting a different result = INSANITY Example: lawn maintenance, table salt, pharmaceuticals, etc.

It all starts with how we think about it.

Why does a plant grow up? Levity– Sow by the moon, plant on waxing moon…

Newton’s Apple / 2nd LAW of Thermodynamics– Levity = Fish up a waterfall

BD addresses plant desires

Can our bodies (sense) experience malnutrition? Empty FoodCan a plant evoke a deficiency of A mineral that is not VITAL?

Thoughts drive actions.

The Lawn

Change your mindstyle!

Weeds are information!

Pests / antennae

Miracle Grow = Fast Food

Dis-ease is a result of a bad diet

Parallels are life!

Weeds

Weeds are information! Dandelion (BD506) = Fix and return Ca to

soil– Health food or kill it?

Stinging Nettle (BD504) Create Balance edge of road

– Average lawn today is a disturbed environment

Pest Antennae

Example - Mosquito antennae, exoskeletal chitinous extensions, known as "setae", they provide feedback to the mosquito as to chemical, thermal, and tactile changes in its environment

Pests cannot digest complete proteins– Nitrates can’t help but create Amino Acids

Joel Sternheimer Sonic Bloom

– Formaldehyde, Ammonia Infrared– COMPLETE DIET? ….. Indoors…. Copy Nature

Soil is Alive!

1 acre of soil (6”) = 2-3 lbs of mammals, 133 lbs of protozoa, 900lbs of earthworms, 2000 lbs of bacteria, 2400 lbs of fungi

1 tsp compost = up to 1 million bacteria, 120,000 fungi, 50,000 protozoa, and 300 nematodes!

YOU TELLING ME THAT ALL OF THIS LIFE IS REPLACED BY 13-15 Elements

Soil vs. Hydro

Natural?

Framework

Supplements - we understand how to supplement in an artificial environment PHYSICALLY, but are we supplementing EVERYTHING???

Soil (alive) Feed through biology– Nurture the intelligence of nature

Hydroponics (artificial) Feed the plant– Growing medium is like a sponge – You can grow a plant with 13 Elements, what happens when you give a

plant ALL Elements?

PARADOX: We literally create all of the problems we are trying to “kill”!

Ex: Miracle Grow 15-30-15

Nitrogen (N) Phosphorous (P) Potassium (K) Calcium (Ca) Magnesium (Mg) Sulfur (S) Boron (B) Chlorine (Cl) Cobalt (Co) Copper (Cu) Iron (Fe) Manganese (Mn) Molybdenum( Mb) Nickel (Ni) Sodium (Na) Zinc (Zn)

Why?

Goethe – Never take a natural truth from an artificial experiment-Degenerative Disease

-CCD

-Environmental Degeneration

-Empty Food

Why?

Q: Why is the will for carrying out our spiritual intentions so weak?

A: Steiner said: “This is a problem of nutrition. Nutrition as it is to-day does not supply the strength necessary for manifesting the spirit in physical life. A bridge can no longer be built from thinking to will and action. Food plants no longer contain the forces people need for this.” (The Agriculture Course, p7)

…never ends…

CONCLUSIONS

Potential of how to talk about these things in your store ASK !

Biodynamics is a tool to making sense of food production and has unlimited potential for indoor gardeners

NPK Primary Nutrients Complete Nutrition

Complete Nutrition = Physical AND Energetic
