We received a shipment of Biodynamic compost preparations from the Josephine Porter Institute this week. These plant-based compounds will be doing some serious alchemy in our compost pile this spring, creating potent humus for our garden. Along with BD500 and BD 501 sprays, the introduction of these preparations to our farm will enliven our soils and energize our plants and animals. The different preps work with different aspects of soil chemistry, stimulating the interactions between calcium, phosphorous, potassium, sulfur, and silica -- all essential to healthy plant growth.
