Biodynamic Moonbloom Combo Special

The South African planting calendar assists you in knowing when and what to plant in the month to create a biodynamic planting cycle in your organic vegetable and herb garden. 

 

Understanding biodynamic gardening: A holistic, ecological and ethical approach to gardening and farming that views the garden or farm as a self-sustaining living organism. The cosmic rhythms are one of the key principles where gardening activities are timed according to lunar and planetary cycles. This calendar uses the Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac which takes into account the Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun (1922-2012), an authority on biodynamics, used this Sidereal zodiac.

 

Biodynamic spraying days are also noted on the calendar - Moon opposition Saturn - further increasing soil activity.

 

The Moonbloom calendar uses the biodynamic ethos, the various South African climate zones, a vegetable and herb list featuring over 60 various edibles, and a concise companion planting chart. 95x275mm in size (95x540mm hanging), wire bound with metal eyelet for hanging.
