Tuairisgeul

Dèan na h-ullachaidhean bith-dhinimigeach agad fhèin!

Cruinnich an aoileach crodh as fheàrr as urrainn dhut, lìon adhaircean, agus cuir thairis air a’ gheamhradh e ann an àite beairteach sa ghàrradh gus aoileach adhaircean fhèin a dhèanamh. Bidh aon adharc a’ dèanamh timcheall air 500 aoileach adhaircean gu leòr airson trì (3) acairean.

Air an làimh eile, faodaidh tu adhaircean fhaighinn, grian-chlach a phronnadh gu flùr mìn (cuir ort masg!), measgachadh le uisge gus pas geal a chruthachadh, agus an adharc a lìonadh. Tiodhlaic an adharc tron ​​t-samhradh. Bidh seo a’ dèanamh gu leòr silica adharc 501 airson mòran acairean (1 spàin-tì gach acair).

Chaidh na h-adhaircean againn a chleachdadh gus baidsean soirbheachail a dhèanamh de aoileach adharc 500 agus silica adharc 501.

Tha na h-adhaircean cleachdte seo air an ràitheadh ​​leis a’ “chultar màthaireil” de bhith-dhineamaigs agus tha claonadh nas làidire aca a bhith ag atharrachadh gu bhith na aoileach adharcach fallain. A rèir comharran Steiner, tha adhaircean feumail co-dhiù airson ceithir (4) bliadhna, mura h-eil beagan a bharrachd (ma thèid an “ath-lìonadh” faisg air crodh ann an sabhal). Bidh cuid de luchd-dreuchd bith-dhineamaigs ag ath-chleachdadh adhaircean gus an tèid iad às a chèile agus ag ràdh gu bheil adhaircean cleachdte gu math nas fheàrr na adhaircean ùra. A rèir ar n-eòlais, bidh adhaircean ùra gu tric a’ toirt seusan tùsail gus “fàs cleachdte” ris a’ phròiseas bith-dhineamaigs, agus às deidh sin bidh iad a’ dèanamh an aoileach adharcach a tha sinn a’ sireadh nas deònaiche. Bidh sinn gan tabhann dhut aig lasachadh mòr, agus gad bhrosnachadh gus cleachdadh a dhèanamh air na h-ullachaidhean agad fhèin air do thogalach fhèin.

Ceistean Bitheanta

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
