Gardening with the Moon & Stars brings biodynamics to the
ordinary gardener. Elen Sentier is passionate about biodynamics.
She feels it's vital to make organics and biodynamics available to
as many people as possible if we are to help our earth cope with
the increasing demands we humans place upon her. Biodynamics is
easy, simple, cheap and super-effective; it's seriously good
horticulture too, and it works in whatever size of garden you have,
from a window box to several acres. This book is written in plain
down-to-earth language with lots of tips and hints to help you
learn how easy it is to use the preparations and work with the star
calendar.
From building soil fertility to harvesting and storage, this book
is a complete guide to biodynamic gardening, perfect for beginners
and masters alike, but is much more than a basic manual. The author
introduces us to the historical and cultural aspects of
horticulture and its relevance today to restoring our relationship
to nature.
