Biodynamics
what is it and how can we use it

Glen Atkinson is moving away from the Bay of Plenty and will 
take his decades of research into Biodynamics with him. 
He has offered to share his perspective on
‘the Agriculture Course’ with us before he leaves. 
This is the series of lectures which Rudolf Steiner gave to
 a group of farmers in 1924, and forms the basis of biodynamics.

Here is a letter from Steve Erickson , of Chaos Springs, telling of their success on their citrus orchard with ThermoMax (during -6C frosts). and with the control of the fungal disease varicoses, with FG4 – our environmental harmoniser

Over the years  some criticisms of ‘my approach’ have gotten back to me. 

Glen’s approach is too ‘heady’, and we are practical farmers

(1) No I am not a farmer, I have not been blessed with inheriting a farm, however I have continually been a gardener since 1976. I have had experience on larger properties, but mostly home gardens, with the last 10 years managing a 1 hectare mixed horticultural property.

Have you ever wondered why BD people do not make sense once their explanations move beyond the basic BD actions? Why they flit off into religious and faith based stories filled with elemental beings, angels and other unproven dimensions?

It is because ‘they’, as a movement do not have a co ordinated understanding, due to one central concept not being widely understood.

In my article ‘The Problem of the Etheric Formative Forces v4’, I identified ‘the problem’ as the difference between identifying the primary formative cause of lifeforms as ‘The Stars’ – in line with astronomy, several leading Biodynamic scholars of the past, and the Apop medical view of the world. While ‘Modern BD’ says the primary cause of lifeforms comes from the The Etheric Formative Forces which find their source in ‘The Cosmic Ether’. It then follows that the ethers are the main formative activities in life forms.

Biodynamic Agriculture – Earth Astrology

This is an article recently published in the American Federation Of Astrologers 2015 Research Journal, of how Biodynamic Agriculture is an expression of fundamental Astrological principles.
