Care for the Earth by caring for your earth
We are very excited to bring you two homeopathic biodynamic preparations, created by Cheryl Kemp.
If you’re not dedicated full-time to your garden, it can be difficult to find the time to stir and apply biodynamic preparations at the right times. But Cheryl Kemp’s biodynamic potentised preparations make biodynamics very easy to use in your home garden. The traditional biodynamic preparations are potentised using homeopathic methods and are sprayed in homeopathic quantities. Just mix and spray at any time of the day. You’ll get all the benefits of biodynamics but without the stirring and storage necessary for the traditional preparations.
The Complete Biodynamic Potentised Remedy assists in the breakdown of organic matter and reduces loss of nutrients. It also produces high quality compost through the action of the traditional biodynamic compost preparations 502 to 507. It attracts soil bacteria and fungi that enable plants to take up minerals and nutrients. In addition to biodynamic preparations, the Complete Biodynamic Potentised Remedy includes potentised boron and sulphur, as soil throughout Australia is generally deficient in these trace minerals.
The Biodynamic Potentised Silica Remedy is applied as an atmospheric spray to balance atmospheric moisture, helping to prevent fungal diseases, insect infestation, snails and slugs. It also aids the ebb and flow of sap between roots and fruit, thereby strengthening plants, increasing flavour and flowering, and ripening fruit.
It really is no fuss biodynamics for the home gardener. Available in the Backyard Biodynamics shop now.
Backyard Biodynamics is a place where you can learn, share and be engaged by biodynamic gardening in your own backyard. 
i need to talk to you about tree paste and animal peppers for deer…
deer are eating everything, and the bucks have scraped the bark off 2 baby red oaks and a baby redbud in our new Christian Community Memorial Garden, I am located very near Washington, DC
Help!
I love your site, I googled Tree Paste and you came up, I don;t know if the cambium is viable at this point.
Hi Jane,
Tree paste will definitely help your trees recover from damage. It is excellent for painting onto wounds and preventing insect infestation and disease. If you do apply tree paste, please let us know whether the deer find it distasteful (or otherwise).
If you are not an experienced biodynamic practitioner or live in a suburban area, it might be difficult to make your own deer pepper. You may want to enquire through biodynamic groups in the US about purchasing peppers. It must be specific to the type of deer that you are wanting to repel. However, as an alternative, there is a website that is dedicated to deer problems and organic solutions and homemade repellents to ward off hungry deer: visit http://www.deer-departed.com.
Good luck, and please let us know how you get on.
