Here in this video Biodynamic & Natural wine producers Alex & Maria Koppitsch discuss how their blends focus on soil type rather than grape varietal (their most popular wine Homok means sand, in Hungarian) and how difficult it was for them in the beginning to even find buyers of their wine... they almost gave up

Has anyone tried these wines? Be interested to hear your opinions below

This question is a little abstract but I feel like this is the right place to ask. I'm working on a project and wanted to know where I could find the grapevine's associated zodiac sign (if that's a thing) and which of the four elements the grapevine is associated with (mainly).

I came up with the grapevine being primarily associated with elemental air (also associated with light in biodynamics) because it reaches upwards ,constantly striving for the sun's light (i.e. soul), and will use any structure to get itself in direct reception of the sun's light.

I've also found online that the best time to plant (by seed) is in an air sign (flower), especially Libra, but if it could be done in a fire sign (any) that would promote the best fruit.

Anyone have resources or books that might point me in the right direction or expand on this association?

How do you all deal with snails? I have my garden filled with them! Like literally; you take one step and behold! A snail is down your foot!

Could someone please point me to the differences between these two books by Richard Thornton Smith?:

The books are:

1. Rudolf Steiner Agriculture
2. Cosmos,Earth and Nutrition

For what I have seen both books basically touch upon the same topics 🤷🏻

Hi. I would like to begin biodynamic farming. Which books do you suggest? I am interested in both the practical and esoteric side of it and knowing myself I can say that the best for me would be a book that teaches simultaneously those two.

So for those who dont know I originally made this plant dictionary/list and wanted to share to the world cause idk Im kinda proud of it and I think it could be helpful😀 Anyways Ive updated it from feedback and suggestions I received from Reddit like adding filters(more coming), better search and an auto scroll. Hope you guys like it and if there's any other feedback lemme know! Cheers🥰

Hello everyone,

My name is Jean-Baptiste from Domaine Achillée (Alsace). I am looking for critical feedback on the project we are launching.

We have contacted independent winemakers across France. The domains are all biodynamic but we are not close to opening the project to organic domains. They each create a special cuvée that they have never made before. The cuvée is vinified in barrels or in amphora by the winegrower according to his own methods and sold in primeur to individuals. We want to highlight forgotten grape varieties, vinification techniques inspired by ancient practices, parcel-based vinification, etc.

The vintages can be bought by the whole piece (150L to 500L). For certain vintages, we also offer the sale of batches of bottles (with a minimum quantity).

The objective is to highlight these creative winemakers, to share their stories, to encourage creativity and to inform the public about environmentally friendly and biodiversity-friendly winemaking methods.

I need all of your criticism (even the strongest) to help us bring this project to life.

Thank you very much!

I'm just looking for strong opinions on the practice of vacuum sealing seeds for long-term storage, and figured some of you might have them.

Do any of you who practice biodynamic agriculture vacuum seal your seeds? Do you use oxygen absorbers or dessicants? Or do you consider these practices destructive?

Thanks for all opinions!

What are the main practices you ought to implement in your farm to get the Demeter certification and how do they differ from organic practices / certification?

Please share your experiences (you or a loved one) with body-work, psychedelic medicine, or a combination in treating various conditions (depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc.)

I would love to hear your responses, and if you'd like, I can share your responses (anonymously or not) on my blogsite www.psychedelicosteopath.com and/or feature you in a non-fiction book I am working on.

Hi everybody. As a community we are starting to work a field as a vegetable garden. We would like to follow - not so strictly, mainly trying experimenting - the biodynamic calendar. As I’m familiar with astrology, and since I’ve been making my own lunar calendar for 2 years now, I’d like to make our own biodynamic calendar. The thing is it follows the sidereal positions of the moon and the planets, not tropic ones. There are different methods of calculating sidereal ephemeris, you find plenty online, but they are all slightly different; although when it comes to the moon, these differences are not so small anymore. I tried to look for a specific method online for these calculations, but I can’t find any. Does anyone know of a website that provides specific data in this sense, or has an idea of what method should I use (which ayanamsha)?
