What it does: A convenient, ready-to-use version of the compost preparations. Helps activate soil life and balance nutrient cycles.
How to use: Stir one unit in water for 20 minutes and spray over soil, plants, or compost. Spray during planting or seasonal transitions, preferably in the afternoon.
Barrel Compound (or Barrel Compost) is based on Maria Thun’s recipe. It contains BD 502–507, basalt, and eggshells. It is used when access to BD compost is limited or unavailable. It should not be regarded as a long-term substitute for BD compost.
Barrel Compound is ideal between crop rotations or ANY time the soil is distributed by cultivation. BC is a good foliar spray, especially good as a foliar spray for brassicas.
Hello! As always, the order I placed for several preparations was delivered very quickly . We rely on JPI for all materials for distributing on many lands and they do not disappoint. Thank you.

Stirring
I stirred pre potentised bc and horn manure together for 20 minutes. They developed a very deep earthly aroma after 10 minutes or so. I am familiar with this experience after 20 or more years making and using these preparations in Hawaii by hand or Malmoe Flowforms..
I'd like to remain so to speak, in the loop, regarding your/my experience and my ongoing pursuit in Biodynamics. My formal training was at Emerson College, Sussex, England in 1984 -5 with Dr Herbert Koepf. My inspiration took me was Jack McAndrew and Peter Duckich in California . Peter was from Camphill Pennsylvania. He was an inspiration to both Jack and me. Peter brought Jack along the Biodynamic trail.
My life would be another if I had not met so powerful people as Peter,and Jack.
I do have a mould of a Malmoe Virbela Flowform. If you know of some one would like a set for Biodynamics or asthicics I am available in Alabama
Kindest Regards, Patrick Moser.
