Dear Christiane, Gwyn Jones from Integrated Agri-Culture on 03 55 611 091 would be a great person to discuss this with. Gwyn is a graduate of Sustainable Ag and has been a BD farmer before hurting his back. He runs Healthy Farming Systems courses teaching farmers about the soils and uses the Albrecht system. He has written some great books for his course, based on Albrechts work, but much easier to absorb, called SPAN - Soil Plant and Animal Nutrition. Right at your back door! I have heard great results with farmers using the Albrecht system to bring their soils into balance. Then when they get into Bd it just takes off - and they see results right away. Best wishes Cheryl.
