What is a biodynamic calendar?
Biodynamic calendar is a calendar for agriculture and gardening used by people who are interested in biodynamic methods. In biodynamic agriculture, people try to work in harmony with nature to maximize yields and maintain their cultivation practices sustainable. Biodynamic gardeners use different techniques to enrich soil, control balance of planting and care for animals on the ground. This approach is often compared with organic horticulture because it includes horticulture without the application of chemicals, but is more complex and includes the considered nature to be a holistic system and work in this system. In fact, this belief is common to a number of cultures and it is common to meet the legends of the specific phases of the moon, for example, with particularly productive plantings. The biodynamic calendar uses the phases of the moon and other astronomical events as a guide to provide advice to perform certain tasks in the garden.
Biodynamic calendar offers advice on when to work on the land, what preparations to apply to the garden, when to plant, when to work in the garden and when to harvest crops. It is a form of a privileged calendar, but usually includes more advanced instructions for biodynamic gardeners, as their practices include the application of very specific preparations, such as Horn Honnus, to the garden. The timing and location of these preparations is important and the biodynamic calendar can help people choose the optimal period for different activities.
One possibility is a simple printed calendar with instructions for biodynamic gardeners and such biodynamic calendars can be found in some garden suppllyobody and kindergartens, except that they were ordered directly through biodynamic practices. People can also download calendars and use them on their computer if electronic planning is more convenient for them and there are biodynamic software applications for people who wantDoing things like monitoring activities in the garden and monitoring yields using a software program.
Teaching in biodynamic gardening is available in some regions of the world so that people can learn how to use a biodynamic calendar efficiently and appropriately. Gardening classes also include lessons in land preparation, garden planning and other topics that are a potential interest for biodynamic gardeners or people who want to integrate biodynamic aspects into their gardening practices.
