He tells us that biodynamics requires constant self-development and an intimate knowledge of and relationship with the plants, animals, weather, earth, the preparations and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on numerous lectures presented to serious biodynamic gardeners, farmers, and winemakers, the author presents his views within a structure of Goethean observation, alchemical language, and the classic four elements, all based on the work of Rudolf Steiner and other pioneers in this field, as well as his own many years of interest in biodynamic methods, both conceptual and practical.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is not a book of recipes and how-to techniques, but a guidebook to the inner means of working with the elemental nature of the earth, showing ways to read in nature what is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e∞ ∞ ∞\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
