BD 506 dandelion preparation (printed pp. 1, 3, and 7): Hugh J. Courtney recalls Josephine Porter teaching him to use bovine peritoneum. He describes placing lightly moistened dandelion blossoms against its inside surface, compares the resulting humus-like preparation with mesentery-based versions, and explains how summer hanging helped remove excess fat.
Water and biodynamic stirring (printed pp. 4–7): In Kathryn Dagostino's interview, Jennifer Greene describes preliminary plant and grower observations with flowforms, visible vortex-motion demonstrations, and an inaugurated research program comparing stirring methods and their effects on water, soil, and plants. These are the observations and research plans reported in the 1996 issue.
What did Josephine Porter teach Hugh Courtney about the BD 506 membrane?
According to Courtney, Josephine Porter taught him to use bovine peritoneum for BD 506. He placed dandelion blossoms against its inside surface and observed a more humus-like finished preparation.
What BD 506 quality differences did Courtney observe between peritoneum and mesentery?
With the peritoneum inside toward the blossoms, Courtney observed a more humus-like result. In his comparisons, split intestinal mesentery could leave blossom structure and white fluff visible, while summer hanging helped excess fat melt away.
What plant and garden observations did Jennifer Greene report for flowforms?
In the 1996 interview, Greene describes preliminary observations of larger, healthier plants after water was treated rhythmically in flowforms. She also relays one farmer reporting good seed-bath results and another reporting noticeable garden changes after stirring preparations with a flowform.
What stirring experiments did the 1996 water interview describe?
Greene describes dye and styrofoam demonstrations that made different vortex movements visible. She also describes an inaugurated two-year research program testing stirring devices and vessel shapes, with water sources, temperature, and soil and plant responses included in the research agenda.
