Happy Equinox and Kicking Aphids to the Curb [#44]
Biodynamic Gardening Report 44—March 20-26, 2015
Happy Vernal Equinox! The days now have enough sunshine for the successful planting of summer veg such as beans and basil. We met out at Jrjohnson Biodynamic Farms to record this episode because that’s where farmer Ralph keeps the tools to grind up the quartz crystals for the cow horn biodynamic preparation that he does at his field each year at the precise moment of the equinox. Had to grind up enough quartz in the pole pounder to fill up the cow horn we’re going to bury at the Spice house soon after the equinox. Do I feel like a witch? No, but it definitely seems unusual to assemble these natural preparations that promise improvements in the health and efficiency of our wanna-be-permaculture yard. We’ll see what happens: stay tuned!
