In these eight lectures, Dr. Scharff offers a profound overview of biodynamic methods, including the philosophy and esoteric foundations, as well as the most practical matters. He delves deeply into the biodynamic preparations discussed by Rudolf Steiner in his Agriculture Course, exploring each one individually:

  • 500 – manure placed in the sheath of a horn
  • 501 – silica placed in the sheath of a horn
  • 502 – yarrow placed in the sheath of a bladder
  • 503 – chamomile placed in the sheath of an intestine
  • 504 – nettle placed in the sheath of peat-earth
  • 505 – oak bark placed in the sheath of a skull
  • 506 – dandelion placed in the sheath of the mesentery
  • 507 – valerian scattered in the sheath of the air

What are the biodynamic preparations?

JPI lists nine core biodynamic preparations: BD 500 horn manure, a soil-directed spray; BD 501 horn silica, a fine foliar spray; BD 502–507, the six compost preparations; and BD 508 horsetail (Equisetum arvense), used as a fresh-tea foliar or fermented-tea soil spray. Growers use these small quantities of specially prepared natural materials alongside good organic and ecological practices to support living soil, compost, and plant vitality. Each preparation has its own amount, mixing, target, and timing; follow the current JPI instructions: https://www.jpibiodynamics.org/pages/making-using-bd-preps
