BIODYNAMIC AGRICULTURE:
Biodynamic farmers and gardeners believe that the farm, or allotment should be managed as a self-contained organism, self-sufficient in compost, manure, and animal feed, and as closely integrated with its environment as possible:

~ Sprays and compost are produced from organic waste and used to improve the well-being of the soil, plants and animals.

~ Biodynamic farms are diverse and a number of balanced crops are produced to ensure the whole ecosystem thrives.

~ Crops are planted and harvested in accordance with Moon Gardening techniques to further connect the growth with the environment.
