Book Description
The inventory of knowledge that is generally warehoused under the classification of biodynamic is rich and timeless, and yet very few farmers have even a nodding acquaintance with the subject. This book performs a rescue operation. A practical, how-to guide to making all of the biodynamic preparations, this book will provide what you need to put these proven techniques to work in your fields. Perhaps the best of the many biodynamic titles currently available. Further explains how to achieve success through CSA-style market garden marketing.

About The Author
Hugh Lovel's Union Agricultural Institute, located on 14 acres in Blairsville, Georgia, was literally a gully when he began. The farm was reclaimed through the application of enlivened rock powders, biodynamic treatments, and skillful manipulation of cosmic energies, not to mention a good deal of hard labor. Now feeding more than 120 families in Atlanta and hosting an annual biodynamic conference, this fertile educational farm speaks for itself. Lovel is also a consultant.

Reader Reviews
I purchased this book with the hope of learning how to read the earth, moon and stars in order to operate our farm in rhythm with these, and therefore be more productive. In all the pages before the last three, I found two tidbits of helpful information, and these were things I already knew (chicken poop is great fertilizer, and rotate your paddocks for grazing). An entire chapter was devoted to his receiving a speeding ticket. Now, there's something I didn't expect! I felt I was reading propaganda. I believe one can make their arguments more effectively with positive statements, and that negativity is neither productive nor helpful. There was so much negativity that I was turned off, and I must admit I did not read his speeding ticket chapter thoroughly, but rather skimmed through to see if there might be anything worth my time to read. This book was a complete waste of my money and time. I did get helpful information in the 2007 Biodynamics Calendar, however, and wish I'd known that was all I needed. Comment (1) | | (Report this)
