Summary
The biodynamic gardening movement goes back at least as far as the 1930s, predating the more current organic movement. It has its source in the writings of Rudolph Steiner, who is usually associated with theosophy. In this guide to biodynamic gardening, Hilary Wright explains the principles of biodynamics, and provides practical information on how to plant and sow based on the calendar and the celestial bodies that influence plant life through natural rhythms. She also addresses issues of soil, water, composting, and pests. Biodynamic gardening is an alternative method of gardening (and agriculture) that is intended to produce plants and vegetables that are healthy, full-flavored, and high in nutrients. Illustrated with 100 photos whose colors show the abundance of biodynamically grown flowers and vegetables.
