Introduction to Biodynamics - 2 Day


Biodynamics with Hamish Mackay and Charlie Arnott

Biodynamics is a cost-effective method of producing high-quality plants, food and fibre with regenerative ecological outcomes.

Proven for nearly a century all over the world, biodynamic methods promote the creation of organic matter, enriching and deepening topsoil and significantly improving its ability to retain water and achieve fertility and balance.

This introductory workshop brings together the art and science of biodynamics,  the 'how and why' biodynamic preparations work, and the practical skills you need to start applying them as soon as you get home. 

We will cover : 

  • The life of the soil

  • Creating soil fertility

  • Managing your natural resources

  • Practical application of the biodynamic preparations

  • Developing risk management of your land ( weeds, pests, diseases)

  • Meeting the challenges of climate change ( drought, floods, carbon sequestration)
