Friday 6th February
With the Moon descending in Virgo in its sidereal rhythm, this is a favourable time in biodynamic agriculture to apply cow horn manure (BD 500). This preparation is made from cow manure that has been transformed through being buried underground in a cow horn over winter. It is then stirred rhythmically for one hour and applied in the afternoon, when the Earth is said to be breathing in. BD 500 works as a kind of inoculator for the soil, supporting soil health, enlivening biological activity, and increasing the soil’s sensitivity to cosmic influences.
