This wonderful little book covers everything you need to know about
the types of plants known as weeds. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer discusses
the different varieties of weeds, how they grow and what they can
tell us about soil health. The process of combatting weeds is
discussed in principle as well as in practice, so that it can be
applied to any situation. First written in the 1950s, this is still
one of the best overviews of the subject available.
This book brings together the best advice for cultivating fruit
trees, berries and shrubs using biodynamic methods, with the aim of
harvesting healthy fruit free of pesticides. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer
discusses the principles of tree biology before describing the
measures that can be taken to develop a pest-free orchard without
the use of chemicals, including soil preparation, the selection of
trees for planting, issues of transplanting and pruning, the
application of pastes, green cover crops, and pest control. Michael
Maltas ran fruit tree experiments on his biodynamic farm in
Missouri for four years. The results are recorded in a highly
practical annual spraying schedule for orchards, which is
reproduced in this book. A month-by-month calendar gives
information on specific methods and controls, based on Maltas's
extensive experience. This is an invaluable book with practical
advice on all aspects of planning and maintaining a healthy
orchard. This is a thoroughly revised and updated combined edition
of 'Biodynamic Treatment of Fruit Trees, Berries and Shrubs' by
Ehrenfried Pfeiffer and 'Orchard Pest Management and Spray
Schedule' by Michael Maltas. Published in association with the
Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association of North America.
Ehrenfried Pfeiffer was a pioneer of biodynamics in North America.
This short but comprehensive book is a collection of three key
articles introducing the concepts, principles and practice of the
biodynamic method, as well as an overview of its early history. The
book also includes a short biography of Ehrenfried Pfeiffer by
Herbert H. Koepf.
