Biodynamic Preparations – Best practice manual

 

We are happy to present a best practice manual for the production and use of the Biodynamic Preparations – the first publication by the Biodynamic Federation.

Anne and Rolf Bucher, experienced biodynamic gardeners and active as biodynamic advisors for farming communities in Asia and Africa, have described all the steps in making preparations, from cultivation and harvesting of the plants through the processes for each and ending with the storage and the use of the preparations themselves. It includes a chapter on CPP or Barrel Compost.

The manual is meant as a practical guide for beginners, to support active engagement with the preparations and is suitable for introduction courses and can be downloaded here: 200622_bfdi_prepbrosch
