Our Biodynamic compost is Demeter

Certified by

Demeter USA, which is the only certification agent

for Biodynamic farms, processors and products in the

United States. We believe that Biodynamic practices

encourage a higher quality organic matter formation

with the use of the Biodynamic preps and less frequent

turning of the compost pile.

Directions:

Gardens and Flowerbeds: Apply compost at a

minimum of 2-4 cu ft per 100 sq ft (equivalent

to 1/4 to 1/2 layer on the top of the soil).

Incorporate into the soil by raking, tilling or

digging. Use the higher rate for poorer soils.

Use the lower rate for more fertile soils.

Lawns: Spread 1-2 cu ft per 100 sq ft uniformly

over the area and water in thoroughly.

Container Plants: Use at a rate of 1 part compost

to 6 parts potting soil when planting or repotting.

What is Biodynamic

Agriculture?

Biodynamic agriculture is based on the principles of

Austrian scientist and philosopher Rudolf Steiner,

dating back to the 1920s (preceding organic

agriculture by 20 years).

Biodynamic agriculture goes above and beyond

avoiding the chemical inputs seen in conventional

agriculture, relating to the ecology. Understanding

and cultivating these dynamic forces in nature is

expressed in many ways, ranging from creating a self-

sustaining ecosystem on the farm and deciding when

to plant or harvest different crops by the cycle of the

moon, to making herbal preparations to inoculate and

enrich compost.

Ingredients: Compost (Dairy cow manure,

horse manure, goat manure, straw, woodchips,

Biodynamic preparations including yarrow,

chamomile, valerian, stinging nettle, dandelion &

oak bark).

What makes this compost Biodynamic?

Our compost is made on a Demeter Certified

Biodynamic

Farm. Biodynamic preparations

(#502-507) of yarrow, chamomile, valerian, stinging

nettle, dandelion & oak bark are added to the

compost pile when it is first built and at least two

more times during the turning and curing phase.

The finished Biodynamic compost itself is also

Demeter Certified Biodynamic

.

As a home gardener, you can rest assured that you

are purchasing the highest quality, Biodynamic,

compost for your plants, keeping synthetic

fertilizers, sewage sludge, and cheap fillers out of

your home and garden.

Contents: 1 cubic foot (28.32 liters)

Sharp Tools Help YouHow many times have you attempted a pruning cut and grumbled when your loppers did not slice quickly through a branch?It could be you were trying to cut a branch larger than the capacity of your loppers. The hang tag on your loppers tells you the maximum branch diameter the tool will cut; be sure to take that seriously or you could end up with a lopper blade jammed in a branch. Its more likely your loppers need to be sharpened. In our video, Sharpening Tools, Tricia shows how quickly you can clean and sharpen tools.

Sharp Tools Help Your Trees & PlantsSharp pruning tools make clean cuts, which heal quickly, reducing the risk of plant disease or attack by insects.Clean tools are also crucial for pruning. Take a bottle of rubbing alcohol and a rag with you, and clean the cutting surfaces of your pruning tools after you have finished with one tree or shrub. It wont take much time and it can prevent disaster in your orchard or garden.Disaster? Thats what you would call it if you pruned 10 fruit trees and they all succumbed to a diseasea disease carried in the first tree you pruned, and transported to the nine other trees when you did not clean your pruning tools.

G | Valley Oak BroadforkThe broadfork is a gardening tool that is widely used in Europe and is growing in popularity in the US. Broadforks are excellent for breaking open compacted soils deeper than with a rototiller or a spade. This tool will deeply aerate your soil, increase water percolation, and preserve soil structure. In comparison, a rototiller pulverizes soil into a fine dust that compacts and hardens after the first rains. The 12 tines are 2 longer than the main competitors broadforks. It is best to broadcast compost and soil amendments prior to broadforking; as the amendments will trickle down into the cracks. This is especially useful for rock phosphate, since phosphorus moves through the soil very slowly.BUILT TO LAST:1. The tines are reinforced with welded steel gussets. These strengthened tines are much more resistant to bending than most broadfork tines.2. The tines are turned to a point instead of cut at an angle. This reduces resistance.3. The handles are ash post hole digger handles, 1 in diameter. Replacement handles are widely available.4. Stout wooden handles, stiffer tines, and a wider treadbar make for a tool that is durable, reliable, and easier on your body.Broadfork actual weight is 21 lb.

Broadforks

H | Meadow Creature Broadfork Meadow Creatures Broadforks are easy to use and built for a lifetime.Ideal for deep-aerating your beds, these broadforks easily turn soil in existing beds. Break the hardest sod and pasture, and turn hardpan into a garden bed. Fabricated in the USA from high-strength alloy steel and ships as a single solid welded piece with no mechanical connections to work loose. The broadfork looks similar to a pitchfork, but its stronger and heavier, with longer tines. Our tines have a gentle curve to ease ground penetration. To use, you stand on the cross bar, wriggling the handles and using your body weight to work the tines into the ground. Stepping off the broadfork, you can pull on the handles just a bit to loosen and aerate the soil around the tines, or leverage the handles further back for a more complete breaking of the soil. After each pull, work backwards and side to side, to turn your bed, without stepping on the loosened soil. Broadfork actual weight is 24 lb.
