> Homoeopathy for plants

[Cl.Mennel]

Dear Dave,

please note that "biodynamic" agriculture, as laid down in "Der
landwirtschaftliche Kurs" by Rudolf Steiner, has got nil and nothing to
do with homoeopathy, apart from avoiding industrial fertilizer.

Rudolf Steiner was NOT homoeopath, but a spiritist interested in
mystical phenomena and astral existences, thus are his methods, very
eerie and magic.

An example: filling cowhorns with manure and burying it at certain place
on an astrologically auspicious date, leaving it over the winter and
digging it out and distributing the energy in certain way in spring.

I want to refrain from passing a judgement on this issue, but Steiner's
ideas and teachings are neither based nor influenced on homoeopathy.
Although one or the other preparation may coincide accidentally with
homoeopathic principles.

BTW, have you ever read anything written by Rudolf Steiner?

Faithfully
Claudia

Hi Claudia,

I have read some philosophical works by Steiner some years ago, and more
recently read some overviews of biodynamic agriculture, which does indeed
use moon-phases & such, and also uses other very sound means of supporting
organic healthy soil - not as 'loony' as you seem to believe.
There is a LARGE body of evidence on its efficacy.
