Dear Stacey, I suggest you contact the Josephine Porter Institute and buy yourself one unit of barrel compound (around $5, oops, I'm asuming you are in the US), 276-930-2463/ PO Box 133, Woolwine, VA, 24185, it will come with instructions, it is a biodynamic compost based spray, which contains the 6 biodynamic compost preparations. It is a great first preparation to begin with. It will take you 20 minutes to stir it, and 10 minutes to spray it on your yard, garden or what ever.
This way you have direct experience with what this is all about. It is a practice to heal the earth that focuses on activity/ action and will. It is NOT first and foremost an intellectual, literary study, although it can be, and I love it as such.
