A new, comprehensive guide to Biodynamic growing methods, mainly focussing on farming, but also addressing gardens and small-holdings. 275 pages, copiously and beautifully illustrated. It is divided into three main sections: Understanding Biodynamics, which clearly describes the method including a historical overview of agriculture, the scientific basis of Biodynamics and how it works; Practical Application, which provides clear guidance on the details of practical Biodynamics; and Biodynamic Farm Studies, showing how Biodynamics transformed 9 varied farming enterprises in Australia and Europe.
‘I highly recommend this excellent book. It is well written and conveys in a practical way deep understanding of the many elements important to success. The many stories from farmers provide a wealth of examples and experiences which are so valuable for the reader. I look forward to sharing it with my biodynamic colleagues in Denmark and also with newcomers to Biodynamics.’ Birth Holt, Denmark
‘For anybody wanting to find a way of producing the most nutritious and chemical free food you can in your backyard or on a large scale farm, this book has it all. John shows you how and why certain practices are done. This is a detailed instruction manual. Food and chemicals should never mix. We have run our 10,000 acre wheat farm since 1986 using these practices, supplying clean food and being economically successful doing it. This book will improve the health of all who follow its practices. Great book John.’ Barry Edwards, Victoria, Australia
