Overview

Biodynamic preparations achieve remarkable results for plant growth and soil health when made and applied properly. This Biodynamic Preparations Handbook gives step by step instructions so that farmers and growers can make, store and apply biodynamic preparations. It draws on the research of biodynamic pioneers including Alex Podolinski, Lilly Kolisko, Ehrenfried Pfeiffer and the Massons' work with farmers. This unique, time-tested handbook is the most comprehensive, thorough and useful guide for making and applying biodynamic preparations. Vincent Masson is a recognised expert in the field of biodynamic preparations and their implementation. In 2005, He joined his father Pierre Masson, a leading figure in the world of biodynamics. Originally a farmer, Pierre went on to devote himself to experimentation, consulting and training. Together, they created BioDynamie Services, a company that develops preparations for a wide range of users in France and Europe. Here they continued their research, teaching and publishing work, always with the aim of improving the precision of practices and highlighting the effects of biodynamics. This book is the result of that journey. Readers will find detailed, illustrated know-how for developing and implementing biodynamic preparations effectively on their farm or estate. The quality of the preparations is crucial to achieving clear results in terms of improving soil structure and fertility, plant health and product quality. Many biodynamic farmers around the world can testify to the rapid changes that occurred when they modified their practices to follow this approach. Biodynamics is an organic, regenerative farming method which does not use artificial fertilizers, chemical pesticides, fungicides or herbicides. Instead, it builds soil organic matter and humus, stimulating biological activity, thus nurturing plants to grow naturally. Biodynamics uniquely uses powerfully acting, nature-based preparations that greatly enhance soil biological activity and photosynthetic efficiency. This results in healthier, more resilient plants with exceptional flavour and storage qualities.
