Product Details:

Prepared BD 500 stimulates seed germination, root growth, and humus formation. Use when planting, transplanting or turning in cover crops. 

This preparation was created by Alex Podolinsky (Australia). In Australian practice, although Prepared 500 was initially used only after two years of application of regular BD 500, further experience now calls for its use from the very beginning of conversion to biodynamic agriculture in virtually every case. This contains all the biodynamic preparations including 500 horn manure, yarrow, chamomile, stinging nettles, oak bark, dandelion, and valerian.
