  Any gardener who already works with biodynamics will tell you the difference it has made to his or her garden. From crispier lettuce to more intensely-flavoured onions, biodynamics is a great way to get your garden to produce tasty, nutrient-packed fruit and vegetables. The ideas behind biodynamics can sometimes be difficult to explain, however, and appear rather strange to those who are new to the technique. Hilary Wright, an experienced and passionate biodynamic gardener, guides the novice through the key points, whilst never losing sight of the ultimate goal: a healthy, abundant garden. Easy-to-follow step-by-step illustrations, explanatory diagrams and colour photographs show how biodynamic techniques can work for any gardener.

  Want to get more from your garden? An increasing number of gardeners have found that the answer lies in biodynamic gardening, an approach that says that plant life benefits from soil that is fully alive and in tune with cosmic forces. Biodynamics works with the concept that the moon, sun, stars and planets influence plants in regular rhythms, creating ideal days to sow, weed and gather plants. This book also tells you which time of day is best to sow or harvest fruit and vegetables, as well as how you can use unique herbal remedies to boost your garden's health and abundance. Easy-to-follow step by step illustrations, explanatory diagrams and colour photographs show how biodynamic techniques can work for any gardener. A resource directory gives advice and information on brands, growers, books and websites for biodynamic food and garden plants.
