Déan do chuid ullmhóidí bithdhinimiciúla féin!

Bailigh an aoileach bó is fearr is féidir leat, líon na n-adharca, agus cuir i dtír é thar an ngeimhreadh in áit fhairsing sa ghairdín chun d’aoileach adharcach féin a dhéanamh. Déanann adharc amháin thart ar 500 aoileach adharcach do thrí (3) acra.

Os a choinne sin, is féidir leat adharca a fháil, grianchloch a bhrú go plúr mín (caith masc!), é a mheascadh le huisce chun greamaigh bán a dhéanamh, agus an adharc a líonadh. Cuir an adharc i bhfolach i rith an tsamhraidh. Déanann sé seo go leor shilice adharc 501 do go leor acraí (1 tsp in aghaidh an acra).

Baineadh úsáid as ár n-adharca athláimhe chun baisceanna rathúla arís agus arís eile de aoileach adharc 500 agus shilice adharc 501 a dhéanamh.

Tá na hadharca úsáidte seo séasúraithe le "cultúr máthair" na bithdinimice agus bíonn claonadh níos láidre acu claochlú ina n-aoileach adharcach sláintiúil. De réir threoracha Steiner, bíonn adharca úsáideach ar feadh ceithre (4) bliana ar a laghad, mura mbíonn siad úsáideach ar feadh cúpla bliain eile (má dhéantar iad a "athluchtú" gar do bha i scioból). Athúsáideann roinnt cleachtóirí bithdinimice adharca go dtí go dtiteann siad as a chéile agus maíonn siad go bhfuil adharca úsáidte i bhfad níos fearr ná adharca nua. Is é ár dtaithí féin, is minic a thógann sé séasúr tosaigh ar adharca nua chun "taithí" ar an bpróiseas bithdinimiceach, agus ina dhiaidh sin táirgtear an t-aoileach adharcach atá á lorg againn níos fonnmhaire. Cuirimid ar fáil duit iad ar lascaine shuntasach, agus molaimid duit cleachtadh a dhéanamh ar d'ullmhúcháin féin ar do mhaoin féin.

Ceisteanna Coitianta

How are cow horns used in biodynamic farming?

To make BD 500 Horn Manure, fill a cow horn with manure and bury it over winter; the finished preparation is stirred and sprayed on moist soil late in the day. For BD 501 Horn Silica, fill a separate horn with finely ground quartz and bury it over summer; the finished preparation is stirred and sprayed as a fine mist on foliage in the morning. Keep horns reserved for BD 500 separate from those for BD 501. Current directions: https://www.jpibiodynamics.org/pages/bd-500-horn-manure-instructions and https://www.jpibiodynamics.org/pages/bd-501-horn-silica-instructions
How much area can one cow horn cover?

One cow horn can produce enough horn manure for three acres or horn silica for many acres.
Why are used cow horns preferred over new ones?

JPI’s used horns have already made repeated successful batches of BD 500 Horn Manure or BD 501 Horn Silica. JPI describes them as seasoned by prior preparation-making, and in JPI’s experience new horns often take an initial season to acclimate. A sound, previously used horn is a practical choice for another batch; keep horns reserved for BD 500 separate from those used for BD 501.
How long can a cow horn be reused for biodynamic preparations?

A sound cow horn can be reused for multiple batches, sometimes for several years; there is no fixed number of uses. Inspect it between cycles and stop using it when it begins to break down. Keep horns used for BD 500 separate from horns reserved for BD 501. JPI’s current horn-reuse guidance describes how lifespans vary with conditions: https://www.jpibiodynamics.org/pages/bd-501-horn-silica-instructions
