"a compost made from animal feces stuffed in bull horns and buried (on an autumn full moon) for one year, to be dug up the next and sprinkled around the roots of the plants. Another treatment involves using quartz to attract the sun???s rays to the plants."
it's certain to catch on in northern california. but how many bull horns are needed per acre?

Oh, really?
???The success of the practice is impossible to quantify: Scientific measurement of the spiritual is a contradiction in terms..."
BS. Test the wine produced by these methods against wine made by other methods. There are such things as wine connoisseurs...
When the spiritual affects the physical, the results are always testable.

Did you by chance mean "Tastable"?

Not Extreme!
Great article! Very interesting.
But I don't think biodynamic farming is really "extreme". Except in the sense of "extremely ecological". Lets compare a biodynamic farm with an organic almond farm. The almond farm may be a gigantic monoculture that trucks bees to California from all over the US, since the farm cannot sustain pollinators all year round - only during almond flowering season. The biodynamic farm is design to increase the vitality of the land, so a giant monoculture would never be allowed. Many organic farms are very close to biodynamic in many ways, but the organic "certification" allows many practises that are not sustainable and in fact may be very harmful to the environment. Demeter, the biodynamic certification, is much stronger that organic.

Please don't do this
Don't conflate biodynamics with organic. We're having a tough enough time as it is just keeping our government and media focused on the importance and legitimacy of organics without magical fairies being thrown into the discussion.
This is all well and good, that someone is fancifully doing astrological-y stuff, I'm sure the unicorns would approve, but we're just trying to keep neotame and GMO corn out of our breakfast cereal.

BD The way of the future that has been the way of the past
The BD Preparation "500" is not from "Bulls Horns" but rather cows horns. Cows have calcium depletion rings on their horns where they have shown their ability to give up calcium so readily. This occurs during pregnancy to add to the supply of calcium to the calfs development. It is this mothering and nurturing influence that is recognised as an intricate part of this preparation. Please open your mind and hearts to a truely sustainable and holistic approach to farming/living principles.

Saving the Cows
My mind and heart are open to saving the cows from exploitation and a cruel and early death for the benefit of human uses. Truly NOT a sustainable and holistic approach for the cows or for compassionate living principles.
Biodynamics is fine if it is also veganic.
