I use BD preps in my soil I bury Female cow manure packed in cow horns Deep in trench in my garden I leave for a year then I dig them up and remove the the material from the horns and mix with water and I spray the ground out before I plant into the Bio dynamic style is a very interesting way of gardening I use the moon and plant according to the moon chart , I also use DTE and silica I derive from my She Oak tree leaves for pest with chewing n rasping mouth parts it cuts there mouth n guts up when they eat my crops , I plant using companionships planting some plants grow better with other plants growing near them , I use cultural methods meaning I pick off bugs I find and send them over to the chooks in there pen . I use my worm tea to bring up the bio activity in my soil growing a healthier plant helps it resist pest n disease . I use fine insect cloth as a insect barrier at the right time of seasons to help protect the seedlings . I also use strict rotation cropping this is one of the most important part of my growing in my back yard I use to farm 60 acres of my 390 acre land I own I had It under small crops for years . Thanks for asking about my gardening itโs my life I couldnโt imagine not gardening all day it would send me crazy . Od .
