Product Description
Any gardener who already works with biodynamics will tell you the difference it has made to his or her garden. From crispier lettuce to more intensely-flavoured onions, biodynamics is a great way to get your garden to produce tasty, nutrient-packed fruit and vegetables.

For one concerned about humanity’s collective responsibility to care for what has been entrusted to us by the Creator, this introduction serves to inform, inspire, and initiate!
This book provides a well organized/formatted intro to the field of biodynamic gardening. I suspect this already dog-eared book will long serve as a valued reference for learning more about what is at stake as well as what an individual can do!
Inspiring throughout, this volume will not fail to encourage the reader to shoulder one’s responsibility to do all one can to begin healing the land for which stewardship inheres.
Unless informed, purposeful, patient changes are made to how humanity utilizes and thereby benefits from the earth are both initiated and sustained, our individual `portions’ of the world will increasingly be depleted or damaged by unintended or even negligent practice.
Worth the investment; particularly helpful as in introduction for one desirous of making changes each can make to better care for the wondrous gift of God that is Earth.

I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand or get more information about Biodynamic Gardening. Being new to Biodynamics I found this to be the best book to give me a detailed summary of the many topics involved in Biodynamic Gardening (history, how-tos, preparations, etc) AND it has great pictures… It also provides recommended sources for more information. After reading this if you want to delve deeper into this form of gardending there are books by Rudolf Steiner & others that you can progress to. A good one to start with is ‘Agriculture’ by Rudolf Steiner. Biodynamics groups are in many areas of the country that you can get in touch with for more information. Biodynamic gardening/agriculture works for small backyard gardeners as well as for larger gardens and commercial growers.

Appreciated reading about new methods of biodynamic gardening dealing with every phase of soil, seed, weather, etc. Next spring will see me trying some of these methods. And in addition, there are reminders of the old and somewhat forgotten ways of gardening. Beautiful book, lots of ideas and very interesting to read. Now let’s put it into practice.
