Dear Readers ,
As note in an early post , myorder of biodynamic preparations make it . The preparations sent were enough to cover a 1 Akka plot , so I would like to divvy up with you how I have been making up the solvent of the preparation 500 or horn manure for my picayune space .
It arrives in a little slide fastener top bag and the Josephine Porter Institute supply you with operating instructions on how to keep this preparation if you are not going to use it within 3 week which requires some jars , a wooden lidded loge and peat .
Preparation 500: Horn Manure
The orbit I have devote to grow biodynamically is a bed 8 foot by 6 foot , so I do n’t demand closely as much of this preparation 500 to add together to water , to spray on the grunge .
As you’re able to see in this pic , I only have a diminished amount which is being added to a 10 quart bucketful of piddle which has been left standing overnight to allow the treatment chemicals to frivol away .
I ’m using a composition of raspberry cane to stir the water to dynamize the preparation ready to spray .
Take care to allow enough room in the mixing vas to get a good vortex going . Stir for 20 seconds or so in one direction quite vigorously then allow the pee to derive to a stop then coalesce around in the other direction for 20 seconds or so . stay on this process for 20 minutes .
A word of advice when making the preparation ; if you have pets , keep them out of the way when you are preparing the spray . Each one of our dogs thought that this was the perfect thirst quencher on a hot morning !
After put forward the preparation , I transferred to a 1 congius sprayer and sprayed the seam prior to planting and sowing seedlings . I spray the bed 3 times and any leave over preparation I sprayed on our yield trees , the haybale garden and into the compost bin . I also spray my biodynamic and horticulture by the Sun Myung Moon seed tray prior to sowing seeds with the spray to try and give my seed an additional boost .

The trump manure training must be sprayed cursorily since it loses it ’s strength . Only spray the provision onto solid ground which has been treated with either planning 502 ( Yarrow ) or 507 ( Valerian ) prior to using the trump manure preparation .
formulation should ideally be dynamized and prepared outside to give up the convolution produce in the H2O to draw in the atmospherical and cosmological influences to benefit the land and the plant which will grow in the seam . It was such a endearing day outside that I quite forgot about the time and stirred the preparation for too long but I do n’t think it will have any adverse effect on the potency of the training .
Do you develop biodynamically ? Do you have a better manner to make up the solutions for smaller gardens ? If you do , we would love to try your good word .
