This year we're trying something new and planting our seeds according to the biodynamic farming method.
This method has been around for about a hundred years and originated in Austria.. It has some ties to the Waldorf education method, but mainly--biodynamic planting has to do with planting your seeds according to the moon and the constellations.
You may be familiar with how certain signs are considered to be water signs or fire signs in the zodiac? Well the same is true for each constellation.
So the idea is, you're supposed to plant crops that you grow for the roots when we are in a constellation that has Earth Energy, for example.
Each part of a plant, the leaves flowers roots or fruit, corresponds to one of the four elements of earth air water and fire.
Now I'm greatly oversimplifying the concept here, but the calendar that I'm working with is called Stella Natura.
I'm excited to see what kind of results I get!
