Care for the Earth by caring for your earth
Care for the Earth by caring for your earth
Biodynamics is an holistic system of growing healthy plants, invigorating soil and giving back to Mother Earth as much as She gives to us. Holistic large scale agriculture has made great use of biodynamics, and much information on biodynamics is directed at farming and large market gardens; however, our mission is to bring this living earth system into backyards, no matter how small. If enough gardeners practice biodynamics, we can substantially contribute to maintaining and regenerating productive areas in our urbanised landscape, sequestering atmospheric carbon into our backyard soils, and providing highly nutritious and delicious homegrown food.
We are situated in Sydney, Australia. The commentary on this site generally refers to temperate climates in the Southern Hemisphere.
