Working out of Texas (USA) another company is also working with homoeopathically
potentised Biodynamic preparations, and has developing
new ones (horn clay and horn sulphur for instance). GW
Agriculture's
web site shows petri dishes of grape vine mildews treated and untreated
by their sprays. it seems also to be amenable to standard scientific
evaluation.
GW Agriculture have designed their sprays for specific purposes; leaf
and soil sprays for spring and winter, premix and spring booster to jump
start new farms, a compost activator, pruning formula, 'Fungus Interruptus',
flowering formula, nutrient release, frost damage protection, fruit ripening
formula, white fly solution, field drying formula, and root ripening formula,
and more. They also have developed a range of preparation-based
remedies for humans and
animals which are commercially available.
Skeptics are invited
to try a simple test; take some medium quality wine (or juice) and pour
a third into each of three jugs. Spray the outside of the
jug with formula A then B, the second with formula B then A, and the third
with water as a control. Wait a minute and the ask your mates to try the
wine, some mates one first and then the other so palettes
are not influenced by first sips etc.and to make
notes, Then compare notes. ".. in 99% of the tests
we've conducted the A then
B juice is improved over the untreated juice, and both are better than
the reversed order juice." In fact you are invited to take the B
then A juice and now spray it with A then B and you get to the better
quality again!
Both BD Max and GW Agriculture have managed to bring the 'compost preparations'
out of the compost heap and into the field and garden directly. This has
been tried before and some experienced BD growers do the same, but it is
interesting to have this crystallised within products.
Greg Willis, the president of GW Agriculture, is confident that 'classical'
BD is past its sell-by date. He feels it has had the most amazing tools
for Earth healing for 80 years and done relatively little with them. But
working with what he calls Steiner Agriculture combined with work of George
Washington Carver and Luther Burbeck and using compost,
cover crops, and the full range of his own perceptive abilities, he has
developed the system which proudly boasts that 'We can cure any crop of
any disease anywhere in the world'. Independent trials using these preparations
are only just beginning so we look forward to the substantiation of their
bold claim. First signs are good!
