Applying cow horn manure, horn clay and cow manure concentrate. Learn all about stirring for either your garden, small farm or large farm.
The biodynamic field sprays are generically applied Spring and Autumn, however depending on place, size and intensity of production, applications are usually made more regularly in Australia. It is worth noting the Australian indigenous cultures did not work the to European 4 seasons. Depending on place they worked wth up to 26 different seasons, so in Australia we need to be paying attention to the rhythms of nature in our locality (Country) and developing a sense for correct timing. At the start of your journey it is more important to get the preparations put and then fine tune timings out of your observations of nature’s response
The biodynamic soil preparations, Horn Manure 500 or Biodynamic Soil Activator, are applied after 3pm and the atmospheric, Horn Silica 501, early in the morning.
