Advertisements for BD Now!
Friends - It has always been my dream that people can and will work
together to make the world a better place. I've always believed that
if everyone contributes just a little, we can accomplish an awful
lot.
Biodynamics Now! has provided an easy opportunity for people
all around the Earth to work together. There are many indications that
this discussion group has done much to literally make the world a
better place. I think it important that we work to make certain that
everyone who is interested in the values and methods we support here
has an opportunity to chose to participate in this virtual
community.
I have to admit that I've personally become very
disappointed in the last two years at the very small level of
participation that actually occurs on this list. With the exception of
a literal handful of people, participation on the list is pathetically
self-centered. I'm not criticizing egoism or salesmanship with this
statement, which, of course, are the driving forces behind most of the
best conversations. I'm criticizing the many who look for what they
can TAKE from BD Now! without any consideration of what they can
BRING. There are so many opportunities to bring something to this
communal pot, even if it is just your own observations (How does your
garden grow?)
Which brings me to this case in point (see below): Am
I REALLY the only one who is interested in outreach for BD Now! While
I think that more minds, hearts and voices will make the discussion
more valueable, and while I think that reaching more farms, gardens,
and flower pots with BD will make the world a better place for
everyone, I have to ask myself if I'm alone in this.
Let me
know - on-line or at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks

Just thought I'd let you know how much i appreciate
BDNOW. Yes I am a taker...I am only a beginner but I really
appreciate this grop and am learning lots from it. Thank you for
arranging for Elaine to come on and answer some questions for us.
One recent observaton on my farm is that the soil seems softer where I
have been spraying BD preps and much harder where the spray didn't
reach.
