The idea of spraying 500 at this time comes from the Satller/Wistinghausen tome on BD. They had very good results when spraying at this time. (not scientific trials). Somehow enhancing the forces of crystallisation evident in the crystal formations currently visible. Steiner also mentions this time as important in the ag. lectures, but as both my books are out on 'loan' at the moment, I cannot elaborate more. It is a particular window mid Jan. to mid Feb., S./W. only mention 500. My feeling is that it 'reinforces' the soil for the coming season.
