g'day graham,
you mean bio-dynamics i think?
if so do a google or search for that and then connect with people who
do it, in all cases when i ahve seen it those who use the method swear
by it, as do lunar planters and the rest. if it works for you use it.
me i don't have the time nor inclination to fill cow horns with
manure then bury them to later dig them up again sounds like work to
me.
be carefull buying stuff though again get in touch with those who
follow the practise and seek their advice.

g'day kylie,
no spam visible here through foarte agent that i use for my
newsreader.
but i notice if you search uip aus.gardens on google there is a whack
of spam visible there.
yeh as farm says too with that b/d system it is boots and all as i
think they use lunar as part of determining their cycles.
again find a group/forum and start talking to them, if you get serious
you will probably get offers of more help than you can handle.

I don't think you can buy it. I think you have to make it. And I
seem to recall that it involves putting some of the horn poo into
water then stirring like mad in one direction (for ages) and then
suddenly stopping stirring and then reversing the stir - and it
involves getting a vortex going whilst stirring so it's not for the
unfit.

I've done some hunting for you. I haven't read these as I'm short of
time but they look like they might give you more info:

I think it would be just as good to just garden organically and to
concentrate on feeding and maintaining the soil micro-organisms. By
this I mean a regime of animals manures, compost, various teas made
from weeds, manure etc and mulching etc.

Hi Len
Many thanks for the link - some interesting material.
I'm very intrigued by the book "Invisible Space" - hope to follow up on this
one.
Cheers
Graham
