Results from the biodynamic sowing and planting calendar

More about the book

For over forty years, Maria Thun has been researching optimum days for sowing, pruning and harvesting various plant crops. Here, collected together for the first time, are results from this work, showing the influence of the rhythms of Sun, Moon, and planets on plant growth.This book shows that if farmers and gardeners link their work into these cosmic rhythms, the quality of their produce is markedly increased. Avoiding unsuitable days is shown to help prevent crop damage caused by disease and pests. Methods of fertilizing and spraying have been developed which further enhance produce, allowing a sustainable and ecologically balanced agriculture.
