must have for my gardening January 27, 2010

I look forward to the biodynamic calendar every year, and this year's publication is no disappointment. There are a couple of practical improvements this year. Concerning planting and sowing, for example, the new calendar indicates that the various days such as fruit days, leaf days etc. refer to transplanting and not sowing. This is much clearer because last year they simply said "planting".
For people who are considering this calendar for the first time this year, I highly recommend it if you are interested in biodynamics. If you are like me and do not know how to do all the astrological calculations yourself or when to apply the various biodynamic sprays, this publication is essential and user friendly. This year, there is also a lot of helpful information and insights on the effects of rain water vs various other sources of water worth considering.
I have been applying many of the biodynamic approaches for the past four years, and my garden has significantly improved. I was especially pleased with the quality of my Japanese persimmons or kaki. The size and quality was far superior to anything I have found in this country, and my Japanese wife told me that the kaki produced in our suburban back yard would be top tier and very expensive in Japan.
I am convinced that biodynamics is one of the most promising avenues for future agriculture. And I personally would be at a loss for how to proceed without this annual publication which is for me like a farmer's almanac

Just what I needed to begin this Biodynamic adventure. I have read about Biodynamic farming, but needed help to begin. Between Farmer D and this calendar, I think I am ready to try it. Easy to use. Eleanor
