Mike,   You're on the Biodynamic list that Allan asked you to join earlier today via SANET... sstorch is referring to the "stuff" in the cow horns that Clarence was saying is obfuscation, alchemy, and smoke and mirrors. With all due respect, should you elect to cut off cow horns, stuff them with cow manure and herbs, bury them with the proper alignment of the cosmic forces, dance naked in the moonlight, wait the appropriate number of months, dig up the mixture, sell most for 9.00 a tablespoon to unsuspecting rubes, then mix  the remaining tablespoon with umpteen gallons of water and spray the stuff over your acreage then please feel free to do so in lieu of any recognized, replicatable scientific process.   Well, some of what he said is true, but some is not. It is however, given the tone and a few incorrect statements, he has no knowledge of Biodynamics. To learn more about what Biodynamics is, I'd suggest starting with this site that has some great background info and a intro course on-line. http://oregonbd.org/    You mentioned alternative methods and research, and in Biodynaimics there isn't too much to read in English.  As Steve Diver mentioned, most BD farmers are already doing the work, not waiting for research. Given your holistic approach with the animals, BD might be a method that you would find compatible to how you think of things.   Perry   ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Bosko To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 10:43 PM Subject: Re: Cover crop At 08:13 PM 9/18/2002 -0400, you wrote: >In a message dated 9/18/02 7:18:51 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > ><< Which too, last year both germinated and grew, I'm just not sure if >the inoculant lived through the dry spell tho (dang it). > >Any one have any thoughts on that btw >> > >use 500 and bc..sstorch huh?
