“We go through the fields, and all of a sudden
the knowledge is there in us. We know it
absolutely. Afterwards, we put it to the test and
find it confirmed.”

BD500: Horn Humus (Earth)

Cow manure potentized in a cow horn - WINTER
SHAPE - cow horn is an instrument.
One horns worth of BD500 is capable of treating almost four
acres to active biological activity in the soil and encourage root
development.
The idea of potentizing manure in a horn may sound far
fetched, but consider the importance of shapes. Tone quality of
instruments, such as drums, depends on the shape of the
instrument. If the shape is off, the sound vibrations are
disharmonious.
BD501: Horn Silica (Sun)



BD501 Horn Silica (Sun) finely ground
quartz potentized in a cow horn SUMMER
Enhance light metabolism in the plant,
stimulating photosynthesis and the
formation of chlorophyll. It is intended to
influence the color, aroma, flavor, and
keeping quality of the crops.
The average horn produces 300-500
grams of 501, enough for 150 to 250
acres of land.


The Seasons – Earth’s daily spinning and Earth around our Sun AND further
delineated by the cosmos.

Biodynamics includes the interaction of the Earth and Moon AND all the other
planets in our solar system and the constellations.

Consequently, the organisms, minerals, plants and the whole ecosystem are
easily able to take up the nourishment that has been made available.

Are we thinking about this in a hydroponic garden?

What are Subtle Energies?

DEFINITION:
difficult to understand or perceive
…what we can’t measure
(merriam-webster)

Living Water

Vortex

Perspective: Change your mindstyle!
SUBTLE ENERGIES

Outside the measurement of the machines humans have
calibrated; More profound than what we can measure.

Acupuncture, homeopathy, yoga, meditation, chakras, etc.

Resonance – why we don’t fall apart…
–
–
–
Physical  Etheric  Atral  Ego
Punch a tornado, a resonance creates physicality
Creates order amongst chaos;
this is all accomplished via the organization of subtle energies that we
cannot measure, and that no one talks about…
Subtle Energies
How does the fungi know how to catch the lesionous nematode?
How does 10x the Calcium come out of a worms ass?
Living Water

Why does a river meander?

Tap Water = Dead Virgin Spring = Alive

We can know this, but…
how do we measure the
difference!?

our gardens?

EDUCATION

Limitations of LANGUAGE

Water
Salt
Compost
MOTIVE - No morality in capitalism
–
–
–

Analytical, data driven thinking, replicability
If we only know what we are taught we will never know anything.
Materialism - Using toxins in our lawns and gardens
93% of salt worldwide for industrial purpose
EMPTY FOOD!
Vicious Cycle: We’re fooling ourselves!
–
Doing the same things and expecting a different result = INSANITY
Example: lawn maintenance, table salt, pharmaceuticals, etc.
It all starts with how we think about it.

Why does a plant grow up? Levity
–

Sow by the moon, plant on waxing moon…
Newton’s Apple / 2nd LAW of Thermodynamics
–
Levity = Fish up a waterfall

BD addresses plant desires

Can our bodies (sense) experience
malnutrition? Empty Food
Can a plant evoke a deficiency of
A mineral that is not VITAL?

Thoughts drive actions.

The Lawn

Change your mindstyle!

Weeds are information!

Pests / antennae

Miracle Grow = Fast Food

Dis-ease is a result of a bad diet

Parallels are life!

Dandelion (BD506) = Fix and return Ca to


Health food or kill it?
Stinging Nettle (BD504)
Create Balance  edge of road
–
Average lawn today is a disturbed environment
Pest Antennae


Example - Mosquito antennae, exoskeletal chitinous
extensions, known as "setae", they provide feedback
to the mosquito as to chemical, thermal, and tactile
changes in its environment
Pests cannot digest complete proteins
–
Nitrates can’t help but create Amino Acids

COMPLETE DIET? ….. Indoors…. Copy Nature
Soil is Alive!
1 acre of soil (6”) = 2-3 lbs of mammals, 133 lbs of protozoa, 900lbs of
earthworms, 2000 lbs of bacteria, 2400 lbs of fungi
1 tsp compost = up to 1 million bacteria, 120,000 fungi, 50,000 protozoa,
and 300 nematodes!
YOU TELLING ME THAT ALL OF THIS LIFE IS REPLACED BY 13-15
Elements
Soil vs. Hydro
Natural?
Framework

Supplements - we understand how to supplement in an artificial
environment PHYSICALLY, but are we supplementing EVERYTHING???

Soil (alive)  Feed through biology
– Nurture the intelligence of nature

Hydroponics (artificial)  Feed the plant
– Growing medium is like a sponge
– You can grow a plant with 13 Elements, what happens when you give a
plant ALL Elements?

PARADOX:
We literally create all of the problems we are trying to “kill”!

Why?
Q: Why is the will for carrying out our spiritual intentions so weak?
A: Steiner said: “This is a problem of nutrition.
Nutrition as it is to-day does not supply the
strength necessary for manifesting the spirit
in physical life. A bridge can no longer be
built from thinking to will and action. Food
plants no longer contain the forces people
need for this.” (The Agriculture Course, p7)

CONCLUSIONS

Potential of how to talk about these things in your
store  ASK !

Biodynamics is a tool to making sense of food
production and has unlimited potential for indoor
gardeners

NPK
 Primary Nutrients Complete Nutrition
Complete Nutrition = Physical AND Energetic
