I have some questions for you. 1) I have injured my shoulder and can not stir at this time. I have some left over horn manure, can I add this to my compost . I can not make a real compost pile where I live, in a suburban neighborhood, so I have two large compost barrels, which I empty into another inclosed circle area after the contents of the barrels deteriorate and then. I

let this enclosed circle sit until it is ready. Can I put the horn manure into the. compost barrels or the pile? 2) I do not have barrel compost and have not used it at this time but I do have the PGS, can I spray this now? I am sorry if these questions sound elementary but I have just started in earnest with Biodynamics in my home garden this past season. It has been amazing so far. May thanks

Hi Carol, Yes horn manure is an excellent addition to compost, and we like to add it when we can. This is a great way to “use up” older dried BD preparations.

And yes use that Pheiffer Garden spray, it is especially effective for putting the garden to bed!

Thanks for the questions

You can spray the Pfeiffer Field and Garden Spray without having to stir it, too. I know several people who use horn manure in their compost pile — and I know for a FACT it’s in the Pfeiffer Field and Garden Spray, so why not! Treat the pile and then distribute the compost later when your shoulder is better

Both the intention you have while stirring as well as the stirring itself potentizes the spray. It might be possible to do your best to move the water rhythmically while focusing on the spray while in the barrel, or be easier to just use your hands? Hows about an interested neighbor?

when the sprays are mechanically stirred Alan York told me he needed to stare at the water and use his intention during that time to make it optimal.

So it might be possible to use your intention and not stir and still get reasonable results?

I so appreciate the posts, especially the presentation of the simple truths of biodynamics-and of gardening & farming & life! i.e., leading physical life forms back to the Universe for cleansing & purification; the alchemical work of balancing elements: bringing warmth & air downward & earth & water upwards; connecting this world & the widths of the Universe💝
