Module Six
Using the Biodynamic Planting Calendar
We look at how in biodynamic agriculture through careful observations and on-going scientific trials we are able to gain detailed information of how the heavenly bodies influence all life on earth. We learn how the moon influences different aspects of plant growth and learn to read the signs and symbols on the biodynamic planting calendar.
We learn how to use these influences to increase the vitality and strength of our plants.
Module Seven
Rhythms in Nature
We learn about the rhythms in Nature and how they affect plant life. We learn to work with these rhythms in Nature; daily rhythms, lunar cycles and the daily and seasonal cycles of Nature when working with plants and applying the biodynamic preparations.
Module Eight
Using Preparation BD508 (Equisetum arvense)
We explore what influences lead to the development of fungal diseases in plants and how these can be effectively controlled.
We learn to make the biodynamic preparation 508 and how to use this preparation to mediate excess moon forces which can lead to the development of fungal diseases in plants.
We learn about the apogee and perigee moon cycle and its relationship to the watery element in the earth.
Module Nine
Review of Previous Session – Rhythms in Nature
We will review rhythms in Nature so the information is clearly understood.
Preparations for Spreading BD508
We learn about the equipment needed for the spraying of BD508.
