The spirit of organic gardening is more about being tuned into your patch of soil: what plants will thrive, what environment will help your soil be more productive.

So, what is biodynamic gardening exactly?

Biodynamic gardening respects the basics of organic gardening - no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, an emphasis on soil health through composting, rotating of crops, etc. - but it takes it up a notch by considering the effects of the moon, as well as other cosmic forces, on the vitality of the soil and plants.

For a more detailed explanation, as well as information about the "Preparations" that are key to enhancing soil and plant health, click here.

I've been looking at the Perelandra site recently and saw their video on their beautiful, natural gardens. Have you heard of it?

I heard that biodynamic farming was created by the guy who created the Waldorf schools, and that some schools are actually practicing biodynamic farms!

Biodynamic agriculture relies on the belief that a farm is actually one, giant, self-sustaining organism that contains the ingredients to ensure its own health and prosperity.
