In this lecture, Alex Podolinsky demystifies the activity of the BD preparations and shows how the effectiveness of such preparations in soil development and plant form is easily seen.

Recipe/ Treatment record
In an endeavour to assist all members of the BDAAA, we would like to develop a register of recipes/treatments that have proven successful under Bio-Dynamic conditions. This will also be of extreme value to those undergoing the “in- conversion” stage of Bio-Dynamic development.
Applying the compost preparations
Application of the Biodynamic compost preparations is an essential component of the BioDynamic Method. In Australia, this is achieved by either or both of the following methods: application of compost, biodynamic sheet composting.
Warming of water for stirring of Biodynamic Preparations
The warming of water to at least 25°C, but not higher than 35C is therefore undertaken to allow maximum receptivity to the Cosmic Influences that are streaming down and into the stirring vessel.
