There
are laws against humans killing
each other;
Societies to prevent cruelty
to animals;
Ecology targets plants;
Mother Earth is treated like
dirt.

New
Impulses have again and again
arisen in History.
One can never “go back”
to a past.
With the breakdown of natural
plant growth conditions through
forced farming methods, and
deteriorating environmental
conditions,
a new agricultural impulse became
necessary. This new impulse
is carried by the correct application
of the Bio-Dynamic Method. |

Typifies
soil compaction worldwide
due to reduction of microbes
and worms
through effects of chemicals,
fertilisers and too heavy
machinery. |

bio-dynamic activation.
A typical result showing
our bio-dynamic soil structure
and humus building activities.

Evidence
of the results of the
Australian DEMETER Bio-Dynamic
Method are shown in the
Photographs above.
Photograph 1 - typical
soil of today, compacted
and dead.
Photograph 2 - the same
soil, within less than
a year, -
and without the addition
of any inputs other than
one mechanical aeration,
cultivation,
sowing down to pasture
species and two applications
of our basic soil activator
named Prepared 500. |
Foundation
to our method of agriculture
is understanding and supporting
the production of humus
in the soil.
There is no such thing
as “permanent”
humus. Humus exists only
at the height of a PROCESS
of continuous becoming.
“Permanent”
humus would be dead material
– nothing better
than organic matter of
little dynamic consequence.
In a living soil, worms
and microbes continue
to make new humus out
of old organic matter,
clay particles, and with
the contribution of their
own bodies.
Sustainability of humus
is guaranteed by the soil
structure as depicted
in photograph 2. Loss
of soil structure results
in loss of Humus. |

To
receive Australian DEMETER
Bio-Dynamic certification
a farm must show such
soil structure development.
Our
Bio-Dynamic research and
practice in Australia
has produced a totally
new and dynamic approach
to farming,
but despite our over 60
years of experience and
practical application
refining the bio-dynamic
method to suit Australian
conditions, we:
• remain faithful
to the original indications
of Steiner,
• use the quantities
and quality preparations
made according to Pfeiffer’s
research; and
• provide maximum
support for the special
bio-dynamic preparations
to be effective by applying
the methodicity and practical
understanding
gifted to the agricultural
world by Podolinsky.
