The Biodynamic Sowing and Planting Calendar 2011

This annual publication is the practical guide for who want to farm and garden biodynamically. There are useful notes for new readers and a number of special features on the care of bees and supporting seed-producing plants. There is also some discussion of the weather over the last year and the decline in seed quality over recent years. The authors attribute this partly to a loss of connection with life processes, whether earthly or cosmic. And the production of seeds also varies greatly from year to year, which they think is due to differences in cosmic influences. The whole book transmits the impression of living nature.
