Maria Thun Biodynamic Calendar 2017

This annual publication is the Bible for biodynamic gardeners and farmers as it gives the best times for sowing and harvesting throughout the yearly cycle. The focus this year is on astronomical questions and how they relate to plant growth and there is a brief description of the history of biodynamics and the work of Maria Thun on both lunar and planetary influences. There are articles by her on the effect of the sun on plant growth, maximising plant fertility and nutritional value, and best practice for harvesting and storing seed. Then comes the calendar itself with best dates for sowing and harvesting.
