Hello bdnow friends, What would be beneficial to plant under apple trees?
Bonnie of Froghaven in Washington state here. I've got my biodynamic preps and am ready to use them. My interest in this is longstanding , having been a student of anthroposophy for a very long time. Thank goodness for the Internet, otherwise I would never have known about the Oregon Biodynamic group. Last fall I went to their prep making and it was wonderful. On my own I would never have had the resources or knowledge available to put this into action. Many thanks to those of you from that group who are on this list. Last fall was a time of great change on many levels. One week before September11th, I left a job I had been at for over two years and took off in my own direction. I'm doing garden design and maintenance. That is to help with finances while I figure out how to do some kind of market garden. It's always amazing how things move when it's time for movement and if one is open to the changes. I just try to accept all with grace. I've been looking for this for a very long time; wondering what I'd be when I grew up<G> I'm nearly finished with a basic horticulture class at the local community college. I just did a presentation on the soil food web and making compost tea. There was a lot of interest in using horticultural practices that did not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides. I didn't even introduce biodynamics, although I did mention it, along with permaculture and One Straw Revolution. That is as far as the general public is. They are just being introduced to something new. We make inroads slowly and as others are comfortable with "new" stuff. In the meantime we can do what we know to do and learn from one another as we go. I really appreciate you all, Bonnie York
