   MoreQ: What is Biodynamics? A: Biodynamics (also known as BD) is a farming method that strives to create a diversified, balanced farm ecosystem that enhances the farms fertility and health from within the farm itself to the greatest practical extent. Q: How does BD differ from organic farming? A: There are 3 clear distinctions: 1. BD requires a healthy integration of crops and livestock on the farm. 2. BD requires a certain amount of wild and/or uncultivated land set aside to enhance the farm's biodiversity. 3. Organic certification can be applied to just one isolated part of the farm whereas BD certification requires the entire farm to be certified. Q: There are many myths told about the cow horn. Can you explain its real use? A: The cow horn is used in 2 field spray preparations. The first is BD 500 which is cow manure stuffed inside the horn and buried underground through winter and dug up in spring. It is stirred in water and sprayed over the entire vineyard to stimulate soil micro-life and increase beneficial bacteria. The second is BD 501 which is ground up quartz rock into a fine powder (rich in silica) and stuffed in cow horn and buried underground through the entire summer. It is dug up in autumn. It is stirred in water and sprayed as a mist over the tops of the vines in spring and fall to enhance light metabolism and stimulates photosynthesis and formation of chlorophyll. Less
