Lloyd - I can't do justice to this because I do not have verbatim notes, but I noticed over and over again that as I asked Mr. York or Mr. Brinton about the effectiveness of one dynamic approach to another - - from Heinz Groetzke's 100% chicken manure tea to radionic application, each of them in their own way and own words asked 'Why would a person need that? There must be something fairly basic that is not right or you wouldn't be looking for something so extreme.' on top of that, Alan York said a couple of times (maybe even on the tape that I've published at www.gardeningforthefuture.com) 'I think this is all much easier than we are making it.' Which is to say, good farming practices are enough to produce a good farm; the preps are what are needed to produce food fit for human development. (And the development of real soil structure, I'd have to add from the recent AP readings!)My apologies to Mr York! I guess too that I need reminding occassionally that radionics only works well in the hands of a skilled and talented operator, there are'nt many around, count em on your fingers probably in your country as well as here!
Going ahead, because Alan York uses the preps whereever he works (all of the preps), I asked him about horn clay. I told him that it is widely believed that the preps won't work well unless they were mediated through the use of horn clay. He said 'Well, I must be remiss. I've never noticed that the preps were not working.'
Again: this is not presented as 'the Truth' or to contradict someone else's experience. I'm putting this man's extensive and effective biodynamic experiences out here for less experienced growers to factor into their decisions for their own approaches.
