Biodynamic Herbal Remedies for your Soil

Herbal medicine is not only beneficial for human health. Medicinal herbs can also be harnessed to heal our soil and bring greater vitality to the food we grow. Biodynamic compost preparations made from yarrow, chamomile, stinging nettle, oak bark, dandelion, and valerian each offer their own healing properties for our farms and gardens, and can be used on any scale, from backyard gardens to thousand-acre farms. Learn about the healing gifts of these powerful plants and how you can use biodynamic preparations to enhance your compost and enliven your soil.
