Hi Allan
Hmmm "crops reliably produced -year after year" I certainly would'nt
make that claim for radionics(on its own), nor would I support it for
biodynamics(on its own), it certainly does not happen in conventional
agriculture, no one way is reliable when taken in isolation, and isolation
is the special talent of scientists - when we eliminate the variables to
allow a 'valid trial' we also eliminate many of the mechanisms that allow
nature to function properly.
When I go look at the people that are making alternative
agriculture work well in most cases they are using a broad range of tactics,
and if not they are happily sequestered on a patch of specially good and
fertile soil that forgives the mistakes. Away from those places you mostly
find that a balanced combination of good basic soil remineralisation,
stimulation of microbial activity, and energetics is whats needed for best
results, BD or radionics (energetics) without the minerals is a struggle,
likewise a mineralised soil low in energy, microbial stimulation (compost
tea etc) without attending to basic minerals will crash and burn one day
too. Of course we can always take the other road and adjust yield
expectations downward to come in line with the low fertility - many wine
grape growers do this with seeming good results - planting on a dry barren
hillside and thinning the crop, ' stressing the vines' so that the low
supply of soil minerals is sufficient to give high quality fruit and make
top grade wine - the logic of this escapes me but it seems to work - I think
differently - why not grow on a more hospitable patch - aim for better yield
and supply the minerals that are lacking ??
My thoughts anyway
