"A simple, down-to-earth introduction to the method of biodynamic
gardening especially written for the backyard gardener." Long out
of print, this classic introduction to biodynamic gardening
introduces the gardener to an obvious, often forgotten principle:
gardening is about living things, life forces, and life as such. In
his introduction, John Philbrick talks of how each morning he was
in the habit of meditating and communing in his garden at sunrise,
until he gradually realized that the important things at work were
"the forces of life"-"life is the key to existence on this planet."
He also realized that most gardeners were more concerned with
death, with getting rid of things -bugs, weeds, fungi -than with
life. Biodynamics is based on the interrelatedness, or the
dynamics, of life forces. As Philbrick says: When you become aware
of biodynamics, you become aware that everything that is alive is
dependent upon everything else that's alive, and it's all a
marvelous network of living things which are constantly changing.
