But, as the biodynamic eye and senses became more trained, I became less happy with the overall look, and quality, of the green manure as well as with the individual plants in the green manure. With sowing so heavily the plants were too close together, forced upright in the competition for light, with no plant expression and with dying and yellowing off underneath due to lack of light. Also there was too much competition of the plant roots, with no plant showing that refined root development that Alex speaks of, and that was evident in the vegetables being grown.

Application in our Australian context
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.
