Frequently Asked Questions for the Biodynamic Orchard
How does biodynamics benefit fruit trees specifically?
For fruit trees, biodynamics fosters deeper root systems. This makes them more resilient to drought. It also enhances the flavor, sweetness, and storing quality of the fruit. A healthy biodynamic orchard ecosystem naturally manages pests and diseases, reducing the need for other interventions.
What is biodynamic tree paste and how is it used?
Biodynamic tree paste is a thick, paint-like mixture. It is typically made from clay, cow manure, and silica. It is painted onto the trunks of fruit trees in the autumn. The paste protects the bark from winter sunscald and cracking. It also helps deter pests and provides gentle nourishment to the tree.
Can I start biodynamics in an existing, mature orchard?
Absolutely. It is an excellent way to rejuvenate older trees. Begin by improving the soil. Introduce a high-quality biodynamic compost around the base of the trees. Apply the Horn Manure (BD 500) preparation to the orchard floor. Over time, you will see renewed vitality in your mature trees.
How often should I apply preparations in my orchard?
As a general guide, apply Horn Manure (BD 500) in the spring and fall. Apply Horn Silica (BD 501) a few times during the growing season, especially during fruit development. Tree paste is typically applied once per year in the late autumn. Always follow the specific instructions for each product.
