Hugo Erbe
I would be interested to hear if there is interest in an English Translation of 'Working with the Elementals' which details Hugo Erbe's work. A friend and I began a translation and discussions with the holder of the German Copyright and then found that a fine translation was commissioned and completed for the Bio-dynamic Seminar on the UK. The translator has granted his blessing and now we have to submit that to Germany and then knock it up into a publication - so there will be some time delay in having it ready to ship. However it would be good to get some idea of those who would be interested so we can guesstimate a print run. I guess if any of you want to be an outlet outside the UK I would be very happy to chat.

Re: Transplanting remedies ?
Dear Per, Not quite. Like cures. And Bach Flower Remedies are sold everywhere, presumably at your city organic food place. You put a few drops of this remedy in a bucket of water and stir like a BD remedy. Use for transplants. If you want to know specifically what grasses walnut allows to grow, look under a walnut tree. It inhibits ALL others. But walnut remedy does not inhibit growth. You use walnut REMEDY to promote growth. That goes for grapes too. Precision in language has its desirable side. Best, Hugh Hi Hugh Opposite cures ? Interesting, what dilution of remedy's are you suggesting, and can you recommend a more economic source than the city organic food place. How do you apply this solution ? Rescue remedy is English do any one make it the USA ? Bach Flower Remedy, Walnut who ?? Is it know what grasses walnut remedy promotes ?

Thanks Per Garp/NH Dear Per, You are right on the money that walnut inhibits the growth in almost everything except one or two grasses and black raspberries. That is precisely why it is used. Homeopathy is the treatment of conditions with materials--taken out to dilute potencies--that would otherwise cause the same condition in healthy organisms. Thus to treat cancer, the usual treatment is homeopathic Iscador (mistletoe) which amounts to a cancerous growth when it occurs naturally on oak trees. In this case to get the transplants over their shock, use rescue remedy; to send them off into growth give them walnut, a Bach Flower Remedy.

FW: fad?
Time again, I am brought back to fresh Local being the only way. The only way people will understand the difference in the industrial food that they eat organic, local, food is to go to the farmers' markets try some. Farmers markets are always packed. People in spite of their mass market food habits, do want real, fresh food, even if it's only seasonal stars like corn tomatoes. Then the next season, they'll get to know one farmer's tomatoes are so good, they'll try something else, tell their friends, on it goes. The same is true for herbs medicine. Home grown, home made, locally grown made, this is where there is true value. As people are making this shift to local food, it will inspire more home grown local economies. Trying to then co opt this thinking to the market economy is a mistake. Instead, try and get national local non profits involved in your csa's to sponsor share prices for low income members, such as Roxbury Farm did this year, through the United Way, sponsoring some membership in Harlem. The csa model now has to go to the next level and include more kinds of locally produced goods within the csa umbrella. Many farms members are already doing this in small ways buying in breads or fruits or dairy from other local farms. If we were to include all the most 'vitally' important goods such as medicine, clothing, drinking water in such an organization, we could control more of what nourishes us.

NY Newbie Intro
Hello, All. My name is Rose, I'm 54, I live in rural upstate New York with husband, Fred, and our 4 cats. We are vegans, professional tarot readers; Fred is a healer, a nutritionist, and always a scientist. We garden organically and are committed to purchasing almost exclusively organically grown foods and materials. I have not gardened the biodynamic way, but I have created raised beds, respected the garden and its inhabitants, not used chemicals, and allowed the failures to instruct me as to whether I have a soil problem or I'm trying to grow something that should not be grown there. Currently, we have our place on the market and we're looking to relocate within this general area of central New York. Our next homestead will be focused on building a vegan-based renewable stockpile model, healthier soil, composting, and seed saving. I'm looking to learn a lot from biodynamic gardening. I hope I can contribute something as well. Rose

FWD: [Poclad] Industry's Poor Parade at the Earth Summit
Dear Friends, The following just came from the the Program on Corporations, Law and Democracy (POCLAD) email list: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Poclad] Industry's Poor Parade at the Earth Summit List-Help: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=help List-Post: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] List-Subscribe: http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/poclad, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=subscribe List-Id: information on corporation activities poclad.efn.org List-Unsubscribe: http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/poclad, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe http://www.freezerbox.com/archive/article.asp?id=254 The Fake Parade BY JONATHAN MATTHEWS Frezerbox 12.3.2002 Carrying his placard the man in front of me was clearly one of the poorest of the poor. His shoes were not only threadbare, they were tattered, merely rags barely being held together. So begins a graphic description of a demonstration that took place at the Earth Summit in Johannesburg.. The protesters were mainly poor, virtually all black, and mostly women... street traders and farmers with an unpalatable message. As an article in a South African periodical put it, Surely this must have been the environmentalists' worst nightmare. Real poor people marching in the streets and demanding development while opposing the eco-agenda of the Green Left. And seldom can the views of the poor, in this case a few hundred demonstrators, have been paid so much attention. Articles highlighting the Johannesburg march popped up the world over, in Africa, North America, India, Australia and Israel. In Britain even The Times ran a commentary, under the heading, I do not need white NGOs to speak for me. With the summit's passing, the Johannesburg march, far from fading from view, has taken on a still deeper significance. In the November issue of the journal Nature Biotechnology, Val Giddings, the President of the Biotech Industry Organization (BIO), argues that the event marked something new, something very big that will make us look back on Johannesburg as something of a watershed event-a turning point. What made the march so pivotal, he said, was that for the very first time, real, live, developing-world farmers were speaking for themselves and challenging the empty arguments of the self-appointed individuals who have professed to speak on their behalf. To help give them a voice, Giddings singles out the statement of one of the marchers, Chengal Reddy, leader of the Indian Farmers Federation. Traditional organic farming..., Reddy says, led to mass starvation in India for centuries... Indian farmers need access to new technologies and especially to biotechnologies. Giddings also notes that the farmers expressed their contempt for the empty arguments of many of the Earth Summiteers by honoring them with a Bullshit Award made from two varnished piles of cow dung. The award was given, in particular, to the Indian environmentalist Vandana Shiva, for her role in advancing policies that perpetuate poverty and hunger A powerful rebuke, no doubt. But if anyone deserves the cow dung, it is the President of BIO, for almost every element of the spectacle he describes has been carefully contrived and orchestrated. Take, for instance, Chengal Reddy, the farmer that Giddings quotes. Reddy is not a poor farmer, nor even the representative of poor farmers. Indeed, there is precious little to suggest he is even well-disposed towards the poor. The Indian Farmers Federation that he leads is a lobby of big commercial farmers in Andhra Pradesh. On occasion Reddy has admitted to knowing very little about farming, having never farmed in his life. He is, in reality, a politician and businessman whose family are a prominent right-wing political force in Andhra Pradesh-his father having coined the saying, There is only one thing Dalits (members of the untouchable caste) are good for, and that is being kicked. If it seems open to doubt that Reddy was in Johannesburg to help the poor speak for themselves, the identity of the march's organizers is also not a source of confidence. Although the Times' headline said I do not need white NGOs to speak for me, the media contact on the organizers' press release was Kendra Okonski, the daughter of a US lumber industrialist who has worked for various right wing anti-regulatory NGOs-all funded and directed, needless to say, by whites. These include the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a Washington-based think tank whose multi-million dollar budget comes from major US corporations, among them BIO member Dow Chemicals. Okonski also runs the website Counterprotest.net, where her specialty is helping right wing lobbyists take to the streets in mimicry of popular protesters. Given this, it hardly needs saying that Giddings' Bullshit Award was far from, as he suggests, the imaginative riposte of impoverished farmers to India's most celebrated environmentalist. It was, in

Rose, here is a post from awhile back about a book list on biodynamic agriculture. You also may want to look up Biodynamic in Google search and go to some of the websites. You'll probably run across a number of list member's sites there. (i never throw out anything, not even old emails.) ** From: agdoc [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: Biodynamic Reading Date sent: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 13:33:00 -0700 Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Friends of Biodynamic Agriculture, I've been interested in the various comments on bd literature lately. It needs to be said: There are many fine books and booklets to choose from on biodynamics in general as well as on more specific topics. Some of these are available in English, some in French and Spanish and many in German (some other languages are available too). Below, I've first listed a potential reading list for beginners of various kinds, then further down I've listed just a couple of my favorite (english) books that I have used over the last 25 years myself as well as with apprentices and mature practitioners in many countries and in varying situations. I've added some personal commentary to them as a further aide in choosing where to start. Although I do not agree with everything that is said in all these books, I do believe they provide a healthy spectrum of bd ideas, experiences and background for the would-be or even practicing bd farmer or gardener. In the future, I may have time to add further commentaries to this list. I have not listed all the bd books (by far not), nor is the list complete even as a beginners intro to bd literature. Its just a start, but I felt compelled to add a few titles to those already briefly mentioned on the BDNOW list. Happy reading! Andrew If you are only just getting interested in biodynamics and want to see if it is for you, read: 1. Biodynamic Agriculture, Schilthuis 2. Culture and Horticulture, Storl 3. Biodynamics, New Zealand Biodynamic Association If you are already a little familiar with bd, but want more (after reading the above 3), read: 1. Laws of Life in Agriculture, Remer 2. Agricutlure of Tomorrow, Kolisko 3. Soil Fertility, Pfeiffer If you have truly read the above and are ready to get really serious about practicing bd, then I suggest: 1. Theosophy, Steiner 2. Nature Spirits, Steiner 3. Esoteric Science, An Outline, Steiner 4. The Agriculture Course, Steiner Once you've studied these, then dont forget: 1. A Biodynamic Book of Moons, Klocek 2. Biodynamic Introductory Lectures, Vol 1 2, Podolinsky 3. The Biodynamic Farm, Koepf 4. Biodynamic Greenhouse Management, Grotzke 5. Bringing a Garden to Life, Williams 6. Gaiasophy, Zoeteman 7. Gardening for Health and Nutrition, Philbrick Agriculture of Tomorrow, Eugen Lili Kolisko Probably the single most important book about biodynamics besides the agricuture course itself. Actually written by Lili Kolisko after Eugen's death, this book is the result of several decades of work by both of the Kolisko's. Eugen was a medical doctor and Lili a biologist. Lili was considered by many one of Steiner's closest students and was certainly an amazingly hard working scientist. She attended the agricutlure course, was allowed to stenograph all the lectures and then established the Biological Institute of the Goetheanum in Stuttgart primarily to work on his agricultural indications and was funded in large part initially by Rudolf Steiner himself. The book is an easy read actually, despite the charts and many photographs of initially strange looking substances, shapes and colors. Most significant is that it outlines the scientific ideas behind biodynamics as a practice. Lots of practical advice, ideas and insights. Truly amazing. Out of print, I think, but this one is worth buying at a used book store or trading for if you can get it. Culture and Horticulture : A Philosophy of Gardening by Wolf D. Storl is still probably the finest, single volume introduction to biodynamics written in English. Wolf gives a concise intro to the history, methods and thinking behind biodynamics without loosing the spiritual character of this unique system of working with nature. The copy Wolf gave me in January of 1980 (just after it was published) still sits within reach of my desk and contiunes to be an inspiration. Although 417 pages of text, it reads amazingly easy. Lots of diagrams and pictures. But dont be fooled into thinking its a fairytale - because it is packed with usable knowledge! Joel Morrow, who used to edit the BD Journal in here in America for years and years, also recommended this as a must first read.

Re: A strange visit/trying to share
Your nemesis, Randy, seem to exemplify many good, as well as misguided, qualities. His land is in his family and farming is in his blood. He is open enough to share with you what he is doing and he really believes in it, works hard, makes it pay, pays his bills thereby, etc. He uses a spider and cover crops, for crying out loud. I was surprised at how much I liked his place, but it bothered me, I guess because it wasn't a small farm growing vegetables organically, but rather just large fields of beautiful perfect trees, exactly spaced...little monocultures of various tree species planted and harvested in different years. It might be valuable to compare an organic tree farm with Randy's farm. I got the invitation to come via the Weed Supervisor who is trying his hardest to produce harmony among the disparate elements on the Weed Committee. I jumped at the chance to contribute to that. In some way, his spread reminded me of the way you have many different crops planted in a kind of patchwork to accommodate the shape of your land. I have French intensive beds so that is quite different. There was much good in his work, and I hope this is a beginning of shared respect. My husband tells me he heard Randy bragging about how he and some other farmers sneaked onto an organic neighbor's land who wouldn't take care of his weeds and sprayed it with herbicide...I guess it's his personality, not necessarily his farm. Maybe the fact that we are taking care of weeds on our IPM road project is a start to help him to relax. I am a threat to a long-standing culture of chemicals. If I can just get all the tansy, knapweed, thistle and hawkweed off Rapid Lightning Road, maybe he will respect me. There is zero tolerance for "noxious" weeds and everything has to be oriented toward making a profit. My political values are so different. Taking a page out of our native son, Jimmy Carter's book, appreciate his good points and simply acknowledge his shortcomings. That keeps the exchange going and you can discuss little things that might lead to bigger and better things. It's a non-judgmental, step-wise approach, and admittedly it doesn't always work. But sometimes it produces astounding results. I agree. I'm going to try and I appreciate Brad, the Weed Supervisor's efforts to help find something in common between the chemical proponents and the environmentalists. I have mellowed out a lot in my approach. I'm demonstrating non-chemical methods and taking care of weeds. I'm keeping confidences when I could write letters to the editor in the local paper blasting various problems I see. Right now I'm quite troubled about the residue in the sediment of a broad spectrum herbicide, diquat dibromide, that was put in the lake for Eurasian watermilfoil. This has nothing to do with Randy. It was the Public Works Director's baby and he is extremely sensitive if I raise any questions about any problems or about the high cost of hiring out-of-state applicators and divers to protect drinking water inlets...Oh God! The bare soil really bugs you? Well around here grasses and clovers in the Christmas tree orchard is the only way it is done. This involves mowing, but still it pays back in moisture and nutrient retention, because as long as the level of biology is kept up in the soil, living organisms keep these things inside their cell walls where they are not so easily lost. Is there some reason he keeps it bare? Does he know that in other places such plantations all grow grass? Has he been observant of what happens to his soil and the living organisms that support it when it spends several years bare? He did explain why he keeps it bare. He pointed to some trees on his next door neighbor's land which hadn't been kept bare, but had had lots of tansy that Randy finally sprayed Escort for him when the trees were dormant. He commented that it had affected the growth of the bottom branches and they didn't look good. He did have hard fescue on interior roads between large beds on another piece of land that he bought later. He expected it to fill in completely and keep out weeds. Since he had that large sawdust/urea compost pile, he may be using that as a mulch. He would never plant clover. It would have to be grass to stand the herbicide spraying. He really believed that the trees grew better on bare soil. There was insect damage which means that his chemical fertilizer isn't giving some varieties of trees, especially the native ones, what they want. I will probably ask him about that. He could decide to approach the native trees organically with soil and organisms just like untouched native soil, but how would he get fast growth? Maybe it's not possible to treat native species like the blue spruces he raises from seed from blue trees with a long history of being grown on a tree farm. It is always better to ask questions than to give information. This is quite interesting. Education has come to mean, particularly in our public schools, informing people.

Thus to treat cancer, the usual treatment is homeopathic Iscador (mistletoe) which amounts to a cancerous growth when it occurs naturally on oak trees.

Re: Hugo Erbe
Hi! Mark, I would be interested. It may be that the print run would be so small that the cost of type setting would make the per copy price over the top. Would you consider publication as an E book and charge the usual five dollars a down load and we can either keep it on the computer or print a single copy for our own use. Gil Gil Robertson P.O.

Re: Hugo Erbe
I've been advised that the rights to the English version of this work are owned by Schaumburg Publications in Schaumburg, Illinois, Tel/Fax (708) 351-2444. It would be inappropriate, I understand, to introduce another commercial English translation under these circumstances. It's essential that in these circles we honor the efforts of our brothers and sisters. I applaud Mark for his effort and initiative and appreciate that he was willing to run his plans up the flag pole before he went forward. Thanks -Allan

Re: Transplanting remedies ?
Its about letting go of the past and grasping the present and the future. The way the remedy is made the inhibiting qualities of the strong tannins are left behind.

Re: Hugo Erbe
They have the rights, but are things actually progressing with the translation? Maybe Shaumburg would like some one to assist in the process? Christy
